Mumbai: With the countdown to its worldwide theatrical release underway, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has opened advance bookings, giving fans another reason to look forward to the return of Rocking Star Yash to the big screen.
To mark the opening of advance bookings, the makers have also released a special video featuring Yash, director Geetu Mohandas and the film’s ensemble cast. The video brings together candid moments and conversations with Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, Huma Qureshi, Akshay Oberoi and Sudev Nair, offering glimpses into what makes the project special for them.
The cast speaks about the film’s distinctive world and Mohandas’ unconventional approach to filmmaking, while sharing their excitement ahead of its theatrical release.
The advance booking announcement has further heightened anticipation around Yash’s return to cinemas. Following the blockbuster success of the KGF franchise, audiences have been waiting for his next major theatrical outing.

With Toxic, Yash is stepping into an entirely new cinematic world, backed by an ambitious scale and a distinctive visual vision. Unlike an established franchise, the film does not rely on an existing cinematic universe or a pre-built franchise identity. Instead, much of the anticipation has been driven by Yash’s star power, the film’s unique premise and its ambitious presentation.
The opening of advance bookings has already generated strong interest, underlining the audience curiosity surrounding Yash’s next screen appearance. The response also highlights the star’s ability to draw attention beyond an established franchise, with audiences showing interest in seeing him headline a completely new story and cinematic world.
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is scheduled to release worldwide in cinemas on August 26, 2026. The film has been shot simultaneously in Kannada and English and is also set to release in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam, taking its distinctive world to audiences across multiple language markets.
With a new universe, a large ensemble cast and Yash at the centre, Toxic is now heading into its final theatrical countdown with advance bookings officially underway.
