The makers of Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups, KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, announced that they have decided to reschedule the global theatrical release for the highly anticipated action-drama. The film was originally slated for a worldwide premiere on March 19, 2026; however, the film’s release has now been moved to 4th June, 2026. The makers cited the ongoing volatile escalation and regional instability in West Asia as the reason for the delay. Interestingly, that now means Dhurandhar 2, which was expected to lock horns with the film on March 19, will now enjoy a solo release.
Toxic postponed
The makers of Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups, KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations released an official statement that read, "Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups is a film we conceptualised with the vision to create cinema for a global audience. Filmed in Kannada and English, it is built with the conviction to connect with viewers both at home and across the world. After years of dedicated labour, we were excited to share our film with you all on the 19th of March. However, the current uncertainty, especially in the Middle East, has created a situation that impacts our goal to reach and connect with the widest possible audience."
The note further stated, "Therefore, in the interest of our partners and our audience, we have made the difficult but carefully considered decision to reschedule our release. We thank you for your understanding and patience and look forward to your continued love and support."

Announcing the new release date, the makers noted, "Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups will now be released in cinemas across the globe in English and Indian languages on 4th June 2026. See you at the movies."
The decision to reschedule was reportedly made after being advised by one of their major distribution partner Phars Films, in the wake of the escalating tensions and the resulting disruptions to cinema operations across the Gulf region, which stands as a key market for the film’s multi-language global release.
Notably, the announcement comes at a time when the makers were preparing for a grand trailer launch on March 8 in Bangalore. The poster of the film’s first single, Tabaahi, was released earlier. Despite being scheduled debut on 2nd March, the makers chose to hold the music video and momentarily pause the promotional rollout.
