Yash’s Toxic May Skip 2026, Sankranthi 2027 Likely

Yash‘s highly anticipated film Toxic has faced multiple delays, and the latest buzz suggests the film may not hit theaters in 2026 at all. This marks yet another setback for fans eagerly waiting for the Geethu Mohandas directorial.

According to industry reports, Yash and the production team are now considering a Sankranthi 2027 release window instead of the previously announced dates.

Why the Delay?

Sources suggest the lukewarm response to early promotional material may have influenced the decision. The film’s teasers and updates have not generated the anticipated buzz, which could have prompted the makers to reconsider their release strategy.

While Sankranthi 2027 is being floated as a potential release window, nothing has been officially confirmed. Fans are hoping for clarity soon as the repeated delays continue to test their patience.

Suriya’s much-anticipated 47th film, directed by Jithu Madhavan, is set to unveil its title teaser on July 23 as a birthday special for the actor. While fans continue to enjoy his recent blockbuster Karuppu (titled Veerabhadrudu in Telugu) on Prime Video, the buzz around Suriya 47 keeps building in industry circles.

Title Teaser Ready for Birthday Reveal

Reportedly, the film’s shooting is progressing at full speed in Chennai, with the final schedule currently underway. This timeline suggests the production is on track for its planned theatrical release.

Jithu Madhavan’s Pan-Indian Project

Jithu Madhavan, known for directing the Malayalam blockbusters Aavesham (2024) and Romancham (2023), marks his entry into bigger markets with Suriya 47. This collaboration has generated significant excitement given both Suriya’s pan-Indian appeal and Madhavan’s track record with genre-blending commercial entertainers.

The project represents Suriya’s continued focus on working with distinctive directors who bring fresh storytelling approaches.

Diwali 2026 Release Planned

The makers are targeting a Diwali 2026 release for Suriya 47, positioning it as a major festive offering. Meanwhile, Suriya has another film lined up—Vishwanath & Sons—which is scheduled to release on August 14 this year.

With two significant releases planned within months, 2026 is shaping up as a busy year for the actor. The July 23 title reveal will give fans their first official glimpse into what Suriya 47 has in store.

Ram Charan’s Peddi Extended Cut with New Scenes from June 17

Ram Charan’s rural sports drama Peddi is set to get an extended cut with new scenes from Wednesday, June 17th. After speculation about additional footage, reports now suggest the enhanced version will screen in theaters with fresh Peddi scenes.

New Scenes in the Extended Version

According to reports, three new scenes will be added to the extended cut. Two scenes reportedly feature Janhvi Kapoor, while one additional scene showcases Jagapathi Babu. The new Peddi scenes are expected to enhance the storytelling in director Buchi Babu Sana’s rural sports drama.

The extended cut marks an unusual move for a film already in theatrical release, though such versions have become more common in Indian cinema to sustain box office momentum.

Fan Response and Box Office Prospects

Fans have shared mixed reactions to the extended cut announcement. Many believe the team should have released this version during the first week, noting that most of Peddi’s theatrical run (around 90%) wraps up by the second weekend.

Still, the extended cut could add footfalls for the Ram Charan starrer. The additional scenes featuring Janhvi Kapoor and Jagapathi Babu might draw audiences back to theaters, especially fans eager to see the expanded version on the big screen.

The new Peddi scenes begin screening from Wednesday, June 17th across theaters.

Gautham Menon Seeks Court Extension for Dhruva Natchathiram

Dhruva Natchathiram release issues continue to persist, as director Gautham Menon has approached the Madras High Court seeking an additional 30 days to release the film. Despite the court’s earlier permission, the director is unable to meet the June 15, 2026 deadline.

Extension Application Filed

The application, seeking an extension until July 15, 2026, is expected to be heard by Justice K. Kumaresh Babu on Monday. On the same day, a Division Bench comprising Justice P. Velmurugan and Justice K. Govindarajan Thilakavadi is also expected to pronounce orders on related appeals.

Court’s Previous Order

Earlier, the Madras High Court permitted the release of Gautham Menon’s Dhruva Natchathiram in theaters on or before June 15, 2026, subject to strict financial conditions to resolve pending creditor disputes. The film's release has faced a multi-year delay primarily due to massive debt and unresolved financial disputes with investors.

The film, starring Chiyaan Vikram, has been in production for several years and was expected to finally hit theaters this month. However, with Gautham Menon approaching the court for more time, the release of Dhruva Natchathiram has been stalled once again.
