The makers ofToxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown Upshave released the first glimpse of the film on Yash’s birthday. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film went on floors in Bengaluru in August, 2024.
The pan-Indian film is bankrolled by KVN Productions, the banner that’s also producing Vijay’s last film, tentatively titled Thalapathy 69. Yash’s Monster Mind Creations is co-producing Toxic.
The sneak-peek channels the vibe of American gangster films. In it, Yash, dressed in a white suit, fedora and holding a cigar, makes a commanding entry in a club. The sultry ambiance of the joint, pulsating with extravagance, indulgence and sinful soirée, sets the stage for this “Fairy Tale for grown-ups.”
Toxic was earlier scheduled to release on April 10, 2025. However, Yash confirmed in a recent interview that the film will hit the screens much later than announced.
Hollywood action choreographer JJ Perry, who worked in movies such as Planet of the Apes, Iron Man and John Wick Chapter 2, has joined the movie. Apart from this, the makers of Toxic haven’t announced the details of the film’s cast and crew. Kiara Advani is reportedly playing a prominent role in the movie. In March 2024, the film team released a statement quashing the rumours that Sai Pallavi, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shruti Haasan are part of the movie, asking fans to refrain from speculations.
Toxic was hit by a controversy in October 2024 when Environment Minister Eshwar Khandre alleged that hundreds of trees were illegally axed on forestland in the possession of the Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT) premises at Peenya in Bengaluru during the shoot of the film. The producers of the movie denied the charges, saying the film team didn’t violate any rules.
Meanwhile, Yash is set to play Ravan in the highly-anticipated pan-Indian film Ramayana. While Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi will play Ram and Sita respectively, Nitesh Tiwari of ‘Dangal’ fame will direct the movie. Yash is co-producing the movie with Namit Malhotra’s banner Prime Focus India.
