Release of Yash's 'Toxic' pushed by 3 months amid Middle East unrest

Actor Yash's fans may have to wait a little longer to watch his upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups in theatres. The film, which was earlier slated to release on March 19, will not hit cinemas as planned.

The makers have decided to push the release date of the action-thriller to June 4, 2026, due to the uncertainty in the Middle East.

The production house had planned a trailer launch event in Bengaluru on March 8, with leading media houses expected to attend. Promotions were in place, and the first song, titled Tabaahi, was also ready to release on March 2. However, the makers decided to pause all promotional activities in view of the situation.

In an official statement, the production house said the "current uncertainty, especially in the Middle East," has affected their plan to reach the widest audience.

"Therefore, in the interest of our partners and our audience, we have made the difficult but carefully considered decision to reschedule our release," it added.

The film stars Yash in the lead role, along with Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth and Tara Sutaria. It is written by Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas. The movie has been shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
