No delay in Yash-starrer 'Toxic', movie to hit screens on March 19 next year

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, after speaking to the makers, said that the film remains as per schedule, with post-production and VFX work having begun in April.

All rumours were put to rest, as the release date of Rocking Star Yash’s action-drama Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is exactly as originally announced, and the movie will release in theatres worldwide on March 19, 2026. This comes amid a wave of chatter suggesting a postponement. Reportedly, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh reached out to the makers, KVN Productions, to verify the situation and then took to his social media and cleared the issue, categorical update confirming that there is no delay.

After a conversation with the production team, Taran clarified that the film remains as per schedule, with post-production and VFX work having begun in April, parallel to when Yash began shooting for Ramayana in Mumbai. The final stretch of filming is currently underway in Bengaluru, and full-scale promotions are expected to roll out in January 2026.

Following this confirmation, one of the film’s production banners, KVN Productions, reinforced the release plan by sharing a countdown post on social media:

“140 days to go…
His Untamed Presence,
Is Your Existential Crisis.
#ToxicTheMovie releases worldwide on 19-03-2026.” (sic)

The release date lands in the heart of a major festive frame, coinciding with Gudi Padwa, Ugadi and regional New Year celebrations, followed closely by Eid, creating a high-impact four-day celebration window at the box office.

With Yash returning to the big screen after KGF, the anticipation around Toxic has only intensified. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film has been shot simultaneously in English and Kannada, and will also release in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and more.

Jointly produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is set to ignite the festive frame with a nationwide and global release.
