Toxic has already emerged as one of the most delayed Indian films in recent years. Adding to its troubles, the Yash-starrer has also been embroiled in multiple controversies and legal disputes throughout its production journey. After navigating these hurdles, the Geethu Mohandas directorial is finally gearing up for a theatrical release on August 26 this year.
With massive investments riding on the project and audience buzz not quite matching the initial hype, Toxic faces immense pressure at the box office. The film is expected to be a crucial release for Yash following the phenomenal success of the KGF franchise. However, fresh challenges have now emerged in the form of a major box-office clash.
Titled Eetha, the upcoming female-led historical drama stars Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role. Directed by Laxman Utekar, who delivered the blockbuster Chhaava (2025), the film is being positioned as one of Bollywood’s biggest releases of the year. Scheduled to hit theatres on August 28, just two days after Toxic, Eetha could significantly impact the Yash-starrer’s opening weekend, making this an intriguing battle to watch at the ticket window.
