Rishab Shetty sends love to Yash's 'Toxic' teaser, calls him a "rocking star"

Actor Rishab Shetty praises Yash's 'Toxic' teaser, calling it crazy. The film, directed by Geetu Mohandas, releases March 2026.

"It's gonna get crazyyy!!! - Rishab Shetty"

Mumbai, February 20

Hours after the teaser of Yash's upcoming film 'Toxic' was released, actor Rishab Shetty shared his excitement and sent his best wishes to the team.

Shetty took to his X account on Friday to react to the teaser. In his post, he showed his excitement for the film and wished the team well. The actor also sent love to director Geetu Mohandas and referred to Yash as the "Rocking Star."

"It's gonna get crazyyy!!! #ToxicTeaser out now! #Toxic in cinemas worldwide from 19-03-2026," Shetty wrote on X.

Take a look

The teaser, which was unveiled earlier in the day, opens with visuals that hint at a war, with Yash placed at the centre of the action. The scenes move from a circus-like setting to an East Asian-style backdrop. The teaser suggests that the story moves across different time periods and carries a dark and intense mood.

The first glimpse of the film was unveiled in January earlier this year. The two-minute, fifty-two-second clip offered a striking glimpse into Yash's intense and enigmatic character as Raya. Set against the backdrop of a cemetery, the teaser opened with a blaze of action, with gunfire cutting through the silence, signalling the arrival of Yash as the composed, fearless, and unflinching Raya with a Tommy gun.

Toxic marks Yash's return to the big screen after 'KGF: Chapter 2'. Produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic is set to hit theatres on March 19, 2026.

The teaser looks absolutely mental! The shift from circus to an East Asian backdrop has me so intrigued. Yash's screen presence is just another level. Geetu Mohandas directing is a fantastic choice - can't wait to see this dark, intense world they've created.

Honestly, the wait is killing me. 2026? That's a full two years! The teaser is fire, no doubt, but such a long gap might make people lose the hype. Hope they keep the marketing momentum going.

As someone who loved KGF, I'm really excited. The collaboration with Geetu Mohandas suggests they're going for a more artistic, gritty feel rather than just pure mass. The pan-India wave continues!

Rishab Shetty is a class act. After the global success of Kantara, his words carry weight. "It's gonna get crazyyy" - that's all the confirmation I need. Yash is not just a star for Karnataka anymore, he's a national phenomenon. Jai Karnataka! 🙏

The Tommy gun in the cemetery shot gave me goosebumps! The scale looks insane. Hope the story matches the visuals. South Indian cinema is truly setting the benchmark for the entire country right now.
