Yash’s

much-anticipated gangster drama, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, is ready for its theatrical release. However, the makers have once again rescheduled its release. After skipping its March 19 release due to the Iran-Israel war, the movie had locked a June 4 premiere. But the Geetu Mohandas film will not release as per the new schedule, either. The production house confirmed the development with an official statement from Yash. The new release date is yet to be announced.

Yash reveals reason behind Toxic's delay

Yash’s official statement read, “There are films we make, and then there are films that remind us why we fell in love with cinema. Toxic has been one such journey. Presenting our film at CinemaCon and witnessing the overwhelming global response reaffirmed what we have always believed—that this film deserves to reach its fullest potential worldwide.” The actor further mentioned that Toxic is complete, and the team is currently aligning global distribution and partnerships. Due to this, the makers decided to recalibrate the release timeline. Toxic will not be releasing on June 4 as announced earlier, and the team is working towards finalising a later date.

Yash added, “At a time when Indian cinema is finding its voice and stepping onto the global stage with such promise, each of us has a responsibility to raise the bar. As an actor and producer, I see this moment as an opportunity to do my part—for the Indian film industry and for all of us—by taking the time to ensure our film reaches the world with the impact it is meant to have.” He concluded the statement by writing, “Through every step and every change, your support has stayed with me, and I carry it with deep gratitude. Some stories ask for patience. Some journeys demand it. We promise to give you a film to enjoy and celebrate—a film that will stand as a proud moment for Indian cinema.”
