More about Yash’s Toxic
With Toxic, the collaboration between Yash and Geetu Mohandas signals a shift in how action cinema can be imagined, blending scale with sensitivity, and grit with a distinctly fresh perspective. What further elevates the film is its powerful lineup of female characters, with actors like Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria playing pivotal roles, making it even more intriguing to see how these narratives unfold within a genre traditionally dominated by male perspectives.
Backed by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups is slated to hit screens on June 4, 2026.
