Let $M$ be a compact complex connected [but not necessarily kahlerkähler] $n$-manifold, and suppose we have a holomorphic map $$(\mathbb{C}^*)^n \to M$$ such that the image is open. Is the image necessarily dense in $M$?

Motivation: My intuition (which comes from the algebraic world) says that the answer ought to be "yes." On the other hand, I know that many properties of smooth algebraic varieties do not hold for complex manifolds in general. Knowing whether this statement has a counterexample would improve my intuition about the complex world.

Can the holomorphic image of $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ be open but not dense
