Toxic movie plot leaked
The synopsis of Toxic revealed that the film is set in Goa between the early 1940s and the 1970s. The action thriller dives deep into the coastal land’s fading colonial shadows and rising crime syndicates. Amid this, a man forges his empire through blood, fear, and betrayal. Here, power is not granted, but seized, and demanding repayment. Gradually, as smuggling routes become battlegrounds and loyalties unravel into suspicion, paranoia turns into a means of survival. It also claimed that, “In the end, the only force more powerful than the consequences of his choices is the abyss within him.”
About Toxic
Toxic has been filmed simultaneously in English and Kannada, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and several other languages. Produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic is slated to release in theatres on March 19. The film also stars Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, Akshay Oberoi and Sudev Nair.
Toxic's clash with Dhurandhar 2
Following the success of Dhurandhar, many speculated that the makers of Toxic would not want a clash with the second part, which is releasing simultaneously. However, a source told The Hollywood Reporter India that the Yash-led action thriller is not moving from its scheduled release date.
On the other hand, Variety India reported that Yash has confidence in Toxic and does not fear a clash with Dhurandhar 2. Choosing not to let go of the Ugadi/Eid slot at the box office, he stands by 'sustained performance rather than just an explosive opening.' A source said Yash is not happy with Dhurandhar 2’s makers as they announced March 19’s release without giving him a courtesy call. The actor and his team are yet to respond to the report.
