Toxic Teaser
Marking Rocking Star Yash’s birthday with a thunderous announcement, the makers of Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups dropped the film’s much-awaited character introduction teaser, officially revealing Raya, played by Yash. Released amid massive anticipation, the teaser makes it instantly clear that Toxic is not designed to ease viewers in. It demands attention from its very first frame. Interestingly, Yash chose to introduce Toxic to the world in an unconventional way.
Before unveiling himself, the actor spotlighted the film’s powerful female ensemble—Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria—signalling that this is not a star-driven spectacle alone, but a story shaped by layered, commanding characters.
Set in the eerie stillness of a cemetery, the teaser opens with a sudden eruption of violence. Gunfire shatters the silence. Bodies fall. Smoke fills the frame. And then, through the chaos, emerges Raya—calm, composed, and completely in control.
Armed with a Tommy gun, Yash’s character doesn’t rush or rage. He moves with authority. Every step feels deliberate. Every glance suggests dominance. Raya isn’t introduced as a man seeking power—he is power. The now-viral line, “Daddy’s Home,” lands not as a punchline, but as a warning.
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.
