Yash-Kiara Advani's fiery chemistry takes centre stage in Toxic's 'Tabaahi'
Mumbai, July 8
The makers of Yash starrer 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' have finally released the film's first song titled 'Tabaahi'.
The music video for the song has also been released, featuring Yash alongside Kiara Advani in a captivating new on-screen pairing.
"Tabaahi celebrates an unforgettable romance brought to life through the undeniable chemistry and emotionally resonant performances by Yash and Kiara. As the world around them fades away, Tabaahi captures love in its rawest and purest form, intimate, unwavering, and all-consuming," the makers stated, as per a press release.
Composed, sung by musician Vishal Mishra and written by Raj Shekhar in Hindi, 'Tabaahi' has been released in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.
The song has been adapted across languages by some of the finest lyricists in Indian cinema, including Yogaraj Bhat (Kannada), Ramajogayya Sastry (Telugu), Vignesh Shivan (Tamil), and Rafeeq Ahammed (Malayalam).
Opening up about the song, Vishal Mishra added, "Tabaahi isn't a love song in the conventional sense; it's love as wreckage, as surrender, as fire that doesn't ask permission. Toxic demanded music that could hold that intensity: epic and intimate at once. Yash Bhai brings a rare conviction to the screen that I tried to match note for note. Tabaahi, for me, was about chasing that raw, unfiltered pulse of love, the kind that consumes before it comforts," the press release said. Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, 'Toxic' is shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and other languages.
The film stars Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, and Huma Qureshi in a powerhouse ensemble cast.
Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic is scheduled to hit theatres on August 26, 2026.

Yash is the real deal. From KGF to Toxic, he keeps pushing boundaries. The multilingual release is smart - reaching fans across India. But I hope the story is as strong as the visual effects. Geetu Mohandas is a brilliant director, so expectations are high! 🤞
The song description calls love "wreckage" and "surrender" - that's refreshingly honest. So tired of sugarcoated romance in films. Also great to see Kannada cinema getting a pan-India release with top lyricists like Yogaraj Bhat on board.
The casting is wild - Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi? That's a powerhouse lineup. But August 2026? Why so far? 😩 Hope the wait is worth it. Also, a 'fairy tale for grown-ups' is an intriguing concept.
Honestly, I'm a bit sceptical. Yash's stardom is massive post-KGF, but Kiara deserves solid screen time too. Hope the film doesn't sideline her character. Also, 'Tabaahi' sounds intense but I need to hear the full song to judge.
As someone who follows Indian cinema from the US, it's exciting to see Kannada films going pan-India like this. The multilingual release strategy is smart. Yash has serious screen presence. Looking forward to seeing what Geetu Mohandas brings to the table.
