Delays in Toxic release
The film's release journey has seen several changes over the past few months. In December 2025, the makers had announced March 19, 2026, as the release date, setting up a major box-office clash with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
However, those plans were later altered after tensions in the Middle East escalated, affecting the film's overseas release prospects.
On March 4, the film's production house announced that Toxic would shift from March 19 to June 4, citing the impact of the regional shutdown on international distribution.
The film was subsequently delayed beyond June 4 as well. The makers have now confirmed August 26, 2026, as the final release date.
Apart from headlining the project, Yash is also credited as a writer and producer, underscoring his significant creative involvement in the film.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas and backed by KVN Productions, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups features an ensemble cast including Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth.
