“Toxic” Teaser Shows Yash In Brutal Action Mode
The long-anticipated teaser for Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Adults has been released. The movie featuring Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas is scheduled for release on March 19, 2026, competing at the box office with the much-anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar 2. Toxic is created by KVN Productions, the company responsible for the contentious Tamil film, Jana Nayagan.
The teaser offers a brief look into the fast-paced realm of the movie. It begins with a voice stating, “This conflict will be unique.” A rapid sequence of images shows a Royale Circus occurring, contrasted with extreme close-ups of Yash, who portrays Raya. The narrator states, “You cannot oppose the world and endure.” “Quit it, Raya.”
A new series of action-packed visuals come next, leading to Yash making a dramatic entrance as he emerges from a bathtub, violently striking a man on the head. “It ends when I declare it’s over,” he states. Explosions occur, gunfire erupts, bodies are cut, and thugs are pummeled. The preview concludes with a graphic scene where a man is shown murdering another using a saw.
In Toxic, Yash makes his return to the big screen following a four-year break. The actor has co-created the action drama through his company Monstermind Creations. Yash was most recently spotted in KGF: Chapter 2, which premiered on April 14, 2022. Helmed by Prashant Neel, the historical action drama became an enormous hit.
Yash collaborated with Geetu to co-write Toxic. In 2026, Yash will appear in the grand drama Ramayana, helmed by Nitesh Tiwari. Yash’s banner, Monstermind Creations, is collaborating on the film with Namit Malhotra from Prime Focus Limited. Ranbir Kapoor portrays Ram while Sai Pallavi takes on the role of Sita in the film. Yash will take on the role of Ravan.
In Toxic, JJ Perry, known for his work on John Wick and Fast & Furious, has crafted the action choreography. Anbariv and Kecha Khamphakdee have contributed to the stunts in the film. The movie will feature music composed by Ravi Basrur, known for his work on KGF and Salaar. Renowned cinematographer Rajeev Ravi has managed the camera for the film. The editor is Ujwal Kulkarni, known for KGF.
Toxic also features Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria. The initial posters featuring these actors have created significant excitement about the film.
There was much speculation that Toxic could be delayed to prevent a direct competition with Dhurandhar 2 at the box office. Dhurandhar, helmed by Aditya Dhar and featuring Ranveer Singh, became the highest-grossing film of 2025. The sequel to the spy drama generates significant excitement. Nevertheless, the creators of Toxic have insisted that the film’s release date will remain unchanged.
