Yash's Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups has stormed into the record books, rewriting the rules of pan-Indian cinema even before its theatrical release. In a deal poised to send shockwaves across the industry, Sri Venkateswara Creations (SVC), led by Dil Raju, has acquired the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana distribution rights for a staggering Rs 120 crore (advance on commission basis), officially marking it as the biggest acquisition ever for a non-Telugu origin film.

The landmark deal between the makers of Toxic (KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations) and SVC further cements the film as one of the most anticipated cinematic spectacles, underlining the extraordinary confidence the trade has in the film’s scale, appeal, and box-office potential. With three major contenders aggressively vying for the AP–TG rights, SVC ultimately emerged victorious, sealing what is now being hailed as one of the most defining distribution deals in recent Indian cinema.



Dil Raju of Sri Venkateswara Creations, said, “Yash stands as a formidable titan of Indian cinema, and post KGF 2, his market has only grown stronger across the world. The audience’s anticipation for his next after KGF 2 has been building for a while now. With a four-year wait, the buzz and expectations around this film are massive. We at SVC are stoked to present this prestigious project and hope to continue collaborating with Yash on many more films”

The partnership with Sri Venkateswara Creations further reinforces the film’s positioning. Led by Dil Raju, the banner is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and trusted forces in Indian cinema, with a legacy built on National Award–winning films and multiple blockbuster successes. SVC’s association reflects strong confidence in Toxic’s content, scale, and long-term theatrical potential—especially in the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana market, a region known for its deep-rooted love for cinema and its stature as one of the industry’s most influential and vibrant territories.

For audiences and fans, this alliance sets expectations soaring—from massive theatrical reach and high-visibility promotions to a big-screen experience crafted to be larger than life.
