New Delhi, August 1

Yash's much-awaited multilingual action drama 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' has officially locked its trailer release date.

The makers announced on Saturday that the film's trailer will premiere on August 8, marking the next major milestone ahead of its worldwide theatrical release on August 26.

The announcement was made through the film's official Instagram handle, triggering widespread excitement among fans eagerly awaiting the project.

Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' is being positioned as a high-octane visual spectacle.

The film has already generated significant attention through its promotional campaigns and musical singles.

The multilingual film is shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions set to release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and other languages, aiming to reach audiences across India and international markets.

The film features a star-studded ensemble led by Yash, alongside Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, and Huma Qureshi.

Earlier, the makers unveiled the film's teaser, offering audiences a fresh glimpse of the women who play pivotal roles in the story.

The one-minute-and-41-second video introduced each of the lead actresses in striking new avatars, although the makers did not disclose details about their respective characters.

The teaser also featured a female voice-over that added an element of mystery to the narrative. It opened with an on-screen warning that read: "Kids... stay away. Parents... make sure your kids stay away. Grandparents... make sure your kids' kids stay away. Great-grandparents... at your own risk."

While the teaser hinted that each female character will play a significant role in the film's narrative, the makers have kept key plot details under wraps.

Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on August 26, 2026.

The cast is insane! Nayanthara, Kiara, Tara, Rukmini, Huma - all these talented women around Yash. The teaser warning was so unique, I've never seen anything like that before. August 8 can't come soon enough. Also, love that it's a multilingual release, makes it accessible for everyone.

I have mixed feelings. The teaser looked stylish, but I hope it's not all style and no substance. Geetu Mohandas is a brilliant director though, so there's hope. Also, a 2026 release? That's a long wait, but if the quality is there, I'm willing to be patient.

That teaser line "Kids stay away, parents make sure kids stay away, grandparents..." was pure genius marketing. 😂 The whole family is now curious! Yash has that rare screen presence that makes you trust whatever he does. Booking my tickets for August 26 well in advance!

I appreciate the effort to make it a pan-Indian film with dubs in all major languages. But I hope they don't overhype it like some recent big-budget films that turned out to be just average. With Nayanthara and Kiara Advani in the same frame, the star power is undeniable. Let's see what Geetu brings to the table.

As someone who discovered Yash through KGF, I'm genuinely excited for this. Indian cinema is going through such a fantastic phase with these larger-than-life projects. The "grown-ups only" angle is smart - it's time for mature
