The unending delay
Toxic: A Fairytale For Grownups was initially announced in 2023 by Monster Mind Creations and Venkat K Narayana`s KVN Productions. The film went on floors in 2024.
Originally slated to release on April 10, 2025, it was pushed by a year, citing delays in shooting and production. The film then locked March 19 as its release date, banking on the festive season of Eid, Gudi Padwa, and Ugadi.
Toxic was supposed to lock horns with Ranveer Singh`s Dhurandhar: The Revenge; however, the makers blamed the US-Iran conflict, which impacted the Gulf market, resulting in yet another postponement of the film`s release.

The makers then shifted the release date from March 19 to June 4.
Issuing a statement, they said, "Toxic is complete, and we are currently aligning global distribution and partnerships." In light of this, we have decided to recalibrate our release timeline. While we will not be releasing on June 4 as announced earlier, we will be releasing on a later, globally aligned date. Toxic will come to theatres across the world soon."
In an interview with Variety, Yash opened up about the delay of his much-anticipated film and said, "That is really something my fans or people in India will not like. They`ll be upset because culturally once you start shooting the film, there is a timeline in their head."
Helmed by Geetu Mohandas, the Kannada actioner also stars Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth in prominent roles.
Toxic will now release on August 26 in cinemas near you.
