In a shocking turn of events, Yash‘s much-hyped film Toxic has been postponed due to the ongoing Middle East conflict. The GCC countries are a major market for the film, prompting this significant schedule change.
New Release Date Confirmed
The makers took this decision at the request of their distributors. Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups will now release on June 4, 2026, instead of the originally planned March 19, 2026.
Yash and the production houses cited Middle East tensions as the reason for the delay. The official statement from KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations highlighted “ongoing volatile escalation and regional instability in the Middle East” as the critical factor.

- Yash in a dual role as Raya and Ticket
- Kiara Advani as Nadia
- Nayanthara as Ganga
- Huma Qureshi as the antagonist Elizabeth
- Tara Sutaria as Rebecca
- Rukmini Vasanth as Mellisa
