The makers of Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups have unveiled a new poster announcing that the film’s teaser will be released on February 20 at 9:35 AM. The stark visual offers an early indication of the film’s dark tone, suggesting a world shaped by violence and moral ambiguity. It features Yash as Raya at the centre of a blood-streaked blizzard, his face obscured as he drinks straight from a bottle, surrounded by the wreckage of unseen violence in an intoxicating universe.

The teaser announcement comes as Toxic continues to be the most awaited film in India, driven by a phased rollout of character reveals and controlled marketing beats. With limited narrative details disclosed so far, the campaign has encouraged audience speculation around the film’s visual language and character dynamics, positioning February 20 as the first opportunity for an intimate  glimpse into the film’s world. To maintain the impact of the narrative, the teaser will be released in a single language, allowing the film's stark imagery and atmosphere to speak to the audiences.



Part of that anticipation stems from the film’s carefully unveiled ensemble. Kiara Advani appears as Nadia, framed as restrained and emotionally weighted; Huma Qureshi is introduced as Elizabeth, commanding and lethal; Nayanthara emerges as Ganga, a character whose arrival recalibrates the film’s power equations. Tara Sutaria plays Rebecca, presented as desirable yet unreadable, while Rukmini Vasanth steps in as Mellisa, exuding controlled authority. The final character reveal was Yash as Raya, whose declaration - “Daddy’s home…" doubles as both an arrival in the narrative and a statement on his return to theatres.
