Makers of Yash's 'Toxic: A Fairytale for grown-ups' unveil new poster
Chennai, Dec 9
The makers of 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' on Tuesday officially kick-started the 100-day countdown to the film's grand release on March 19, next year by choosing to release a new poster from the film.
The film, already one of the most anticipated releases of 2026, continues to generate buzz with each update.
To heighten the excitement, the team has revealed a powerful new poster showcasing Rocking Star Yash in an intense avatar. In the poster, Yash presents a sexy, rugged look while posing in a bloody bathtub, flexing his chiselled biceps. Although his face is not visible, he gazes outside, illuminated by a streak of light. His body is adorned with tattoos, delivering a perfect badass vibe that hints at his character. Fans are thrilled with this striking image.
For the unaware, 'Toxic' is set to release during a significant festive period, overlapping with Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and Eid, which offers a strong four-day holiday box-office window.
Along with the poster, the team spotlighted the accomplished technicians shaping the film’s ambitious vision. Cinematography for the film is by National Award winning cameraman Rajeev Ravi, while music for the power-packed action entertainer has been composed by Ravi Basrur, known for his previous collaboration with Yash on KGF.
Ujwal Kulkarni has been assigned the task of overseeing editing, and TP Abid is in charge of production design. Bringing an international touch, Hollywood action director JJ Perry--celebrated for his work in John Wick--has been roped in for the film. Perry, along with National award winning action directors Anbariv, has crafted some of the film’s most significant action sequences.
Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, 'Toxic' has been filmed simultaneously in English and Kannada and will also be dubbed in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. The film is being produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations.

As someone who loved Geetu Mohandas's 'Moothon', I'm very intrigued. This is such a different genre for her. Co-writing with Yash suggests a strong character-driven story beneath all the action. Hoping it's not *just* style over substance. The technical team is top-notch though.
Releasing on Ugadi/Gudi Padwa weekend is a masterstroke! Perfect for a massive family audience opening. The simultaneous multi-language shoot shows they're serious about pan-India appeal. Ravi Basrur's background score will be another highlight for sure. Yash Anna fan waiting patiently! 💪
The Hollywood action director collaboration is exciting. Indian action sequences are getting a global upgrade. Hope the story matches the technical ambition. The poster vibe is very dark and intense, a different shade from the massy KGF. Let's see if it works!
༼ 㤠◕_◕ ༽㤠YASH TAKE MY ENERGY ༼ 㤠◕_◕ ༽㤠The 100-day countdown begins! The poster is already iconic. Shooting in English simultaneously is a bold move for direct international reach. Kannada cinema on the world stage!
Respectfully, I hope the 'toxic' in the title is explored meaningfully and isn't just a cool-sounding word for a violent story. With Geetu Mohandas involved, I trust there will be depth. The lineup of technicians is seriously impressive – feels like a milestone project.
