Yash has revealed that he will not be making a public appearance for his fans on his 40th birthday on January 8. On Wednesday, the actor issued a statement and stated that he is busy working on his upcoming
movie, Toxic. Yash mentioned that even though he wanted to meet his fans this year, it is not possible for him because of his work commitments. He also expressed gratitude to his fandoms in advance and shared that he would be reading all of their wishes on his birthday.
“To my dearest fans, I honestly am deeply aware of how you have been waiting to meet me over the last few years. Trust me, I have been longing to see you all just as much. I truly wanted to make it happen this year on my birthday, but I am fully immersed in finishing the film to make sure it is ready for you in theatres on March 19th 2026. Because of this, I won’t be able to meet you in person just yet. Even though we couldn’t make it happen now, I promise to make it up to you. We will meet in a much bigger way, very soon. In the meantime, I will be personally looking through all your wishes and chering every bit of the love you send,” Yash wrote on his Instagram stories.
While Yash will not be making a public appearance on his birthday, the makers of Toxic will drop a teaser of the movie for his fans. Earlier today, a new poster of Toxic was released, which featured Yash walking through fire. It also read the film’s teaser release date, i.e. January 8 and revealed that the video glimpse will be out at 10:10 am.
Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups has been filmed simultaneously in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and several other languages—underscoring its global ambition.
The film boasts a formidable technical team, including National Award winner Rajeev Ravi as cinematographer, Ravi Basrur on music, Ujwal Kulkarni on editing, and TP Abid as production designer. High-octane action is choreographed by Hollywood action director JJ Perry (John Wick) alongside National Award-winning duo Anbariv and Kecha Khamphakdee.
Produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic is slated for a grand theatrical release on the long festive weekend of 19th March 2026, coinciding with Eid, Ugadi, and Gudi Padwa.
