A teaser for Yash‘s “Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups” has been released, offering the first comprehensive look at the scale and tone of one of 2026’s most anticipated Indian productions.
Following the birthday reveal of Yash’s character Raya and character posters for Nayanthara‘s Ganga, Kiara Advani’s Nadia, Huma Qureshi’s Elizabeth, Rukmini Vasanth’s Mellisa and Tara Sutaria’s Rebecca, the teaser expands the film’s world across multiple settings and time periods. The footage moves from circus environments to East Asian-inspired backdrops, establishing a dark aesthetic anchored by action choreography.
Central to the presentation is Yash’s physical transformation for the role, which the teaser showcases across a spectrum of appearances.
Yash made his film debut with the Kannada film “Jambada Hudugi” in 2007 and gained widespread recognition through “Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari” in 2014. He achieved pan-India prominence with the two-part “K.G.F” franchise, with “K.G.F: Chapter 2” becoming one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. As actor, co-writer and co-producer on “Toxic,” he continues his pattern of pursuing ambitious large-scale projects.
Written by Yash and director Geetu Mohandas, “Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups” has been shot simultaneously in the Kannada and English languages, with dubbed versions releasing in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and additional languages.
The production features cinematographer Rajeev Ravi, composer Ravi Basrur, editor Ujwal Kulkarni and production designer T.P. Abid. Action sequences are choreographed by Hollywood’s J.J. Perry, known for his work on “John Wick,” alongside action directors Anbariv and Kecha Khamphakdee.
Produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash through KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, “Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups” is scheduled for theatrical release March 19, the day another tentpole, “Dhurandhar: The Revenge,” opens.
