Yash's highly anticipated film Toxic has been postponed from its original March 19 release date to June 4, 2026, due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The makers cited uncertainty in the region, especially after the US and Israel's joint strike on Iran, as the reason for the delay.
The film, directed by Geetu Mohandas, was set to mark Yash's big-screen return after four years. Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is a hyperviolent action saga starring Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria. The film was generating buzz after its look reveal and teaser, despite some controversy.
The makers expressed their hope that the situation in the Middle East would improve by June, allowing them to connect with a wider audience. They thanked fans for their understanding and patience, looking forward to their continued support.
Toxic's postponement benefits Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2, which was set to clash with the Yash-starrer on March 19. The spy thriller from Aditya Dhar may now get a solo release on the date.
