Yash starrer 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' to hit theatres on August 26
Bengaluru, June 21
The release date of Yash's highly anticipated upcoming movie 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' is finally out. The film is set to release in theatres worldwide on August 26.
Accompanying the announcement is a striking new poster featuring Yash's dual avatars, Raya and Ticket, offering audiences a fresh glimpse into the film's dark, immersive and layered world.
Yash announced the release date along with the poster on his X handle. He wrote, "Honour Thy Father. Toxic In Cinemas Worldwide from 26-08-2026"
Arriving on August 26, the film is poised to capitalise on an extended holiday window that encompasses Varamahalakshmi, Onam, Eid and Raksha Bandhan.
The film marks the first collaboration between filmmaker Geetu Mohandas and star Yash and is backed by KVN Productions and Yash's Monster Mind Creations.
Shot simultaneously in Kannada and English, the 'Toxic' will be released in Kannada, Hindi, English, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam, further amplifying its reach.
The cast also features Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth and Tara Sutaria in the prominent roles.
The movie was earlier slated to release in theatres on March 19. It was later postponed by the makers, citing Middle East Tensions.

The poster looks stunning! Yash in dual roles is always a treat—remember his double role in 'Santosh'? That was fun. But 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' sounds dark and experimental. Geetu Mohandas is a brilliant director, her film 'Liar's Dice' was amazing. This combo could be something special. Only wish Nayanthara and Kiara screen time is balanced. And yes, please keep the ticket prices reasonable! 😊
Interesting that they postponed from March due to Middle East tensions—guess the global market matters now. But August 26 is smart with all those festivals: Varamahalakshmi, Onam, Eid, Raksha Bandhan—families will go to theatres. The cast is massive: Nayanthara, Kiara, Huma, Rukmini, Tara—five leading ladies! Hope it's not just glamour, but strong characters. The dark fairy tale concept sounds unique for Indian cinema. Count me in! 🎥
Yash is doing something different from KGF—I appreciate that. But 'Toxic' as a title? And 'A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups'? Sounds like they're trying to be edgy. The poster with dual avatars looks cool though. My concern: with so many heroines, the story might get cluttered. Hope Geetu Mohandas keeps it tight. Also, releasing in 6 languages is ambitious, but dubbing quality matters a lot—Hindi dubs of Kannada films are often shoddy. Please invest in good sync! 😬
Finally Yash is back! After KGF, expectations are sky-high. But I hope 'Toxic' is not just style over substance. The 'dark fairy tale' genre is risky—it could be brilliant like 'Mughal-e-Azam' or a mess. The cast is stellar: Nayanthara and Kiara together? Wow! And Huma
