The new poster, unveiled on Wednesday, shows Nayanthara in a serious look. The actress can be seen holding a gun. The image gives a glimpse of her role as a powerful and fearless woman in the film.

Toxic is directed by Geetu Mohandas and stars Yash in the lead role. The film is set to release in theatres on March 19, 2026.

Mohandas had spoken about portraying Nayanthara differently on screen.

"We all know Nayan as a celebrated star with a commanding screen presence, and a remarkable career spanning two decades but in Toxic, audiences will witness a talent that had been quietly waiting to explode," Mohandas said in a statement. "I wanted to portray Nayan in a way that she's never been showcased before. But as the shoot progressed I began to see how closely her own personality echoed the soul of the character."

The film has already revealed the first looks of other actors. Kiara Advani was earlier introduced as Nadia, while Huma Qureshi was shown as Elizabeth.

The film marks Yash's return to the big screen after KGF: Chapter 2. The project has been in the news for a long time and is being made in Kannada and English. Dubbed versions are also planned in several Indian languages.

The film is written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas. It is produced by Venkat K Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. The technical team includes Rajeev Ravi as cinematographer, Ravi Basrur as music composer and Ujwal Kulkarni as editor.

Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups is scheduled to release in theatres on March 19, 2026, during the festive weekend of Eid and Ugadi.
