Rocking Star Yash, who became a pan-India sensation with KGF, is currently working on his upcoming film titled Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. The teaser of the film, directed by Geetu Mohandas, was unveiled a while ago. Amid reports suggesting that the film had hit a roadblock and that its release might be delayed, the makers have now confirmed that Toxic will release on March 19, 2026, as originally announced.

Amid the buzz around a possible postponement, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh reached out to the makers to verify the situation and later took to social media to issue a clear statement confirming that there is no delay.
After speaking with the production team, Taran clarified that the film remains on schedule, with post-production and VFX work having commenced in April—around the same time Yash began shooting for Ramayana in Mumbai. The final leg of filming is currently underway in Bangalore, and full-scale promotions are expected to begin in January 2026.
