The box office is set for a major showdown as Yash’s Toxic gears up to clash with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2. Ever since the release dates were announced, social media platforms and trade circles have been buzzing with intense discussions about the high-profile face-off.
According to recent reports, Yash revealed in an interview that he was unaware of the Dhurandhar 2 team’s plan to release their film during Eid. This revelation has added a new layer to the ongoing debate surrounding the clash.
A source was quoted as saying, “‘Toxic’ was officially announced three years ago, in December 2023. His fans have been eagerly waiting to see him on screen since then. Yash does not want to back off and disappoint his fans.”
It is also being said that Yash was upset that the makers of Dhurandhar 2 did not inform him about their Eid release plans, especially since Toxic had already locked its date last year. “‘Toxic’ announced its release date in March last year. If ‘Dhurandhar 2’ was also planning to arrive on the same date, they could have at least made a courtesy call,” the source added.
Reportedly, Yash feels the Hindi film industry lacks the culture of communication that is commonly seen in the southern film industries, where major releases are often discussed informally among stakeholders to avoid direct clashes.
With both films carrying strong star power and massive expectations, the box office clash between Toxic and Dhurandhar 2 promises to be one of the most talked-about battles in recent times. Whether the two teams will reconsider their dates or stick to their plans remains to be seen, but for now, the industry is closely watching how this high-stakes duel unfolds.
