Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has received an A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification, 123telugu.com reports. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film is reportedly set in Goa after Independence, during Portuguese rule, and follows a father-son revenge story. The action drama is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on August 26, 2026.

The film’s multilingual soundtrack was launched in Mumbai, with Yash, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi attending, Bollywood Hungama reports. The album includes songs in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. M9.news reports that Yash said he and Mohandas took extra care of Advani during filming because she was pregnant, describing them jokingly as her “bouncers and bodyguards”.

The early publicity is leaning heavily on scale, action and star anecdotes, while the reported father-son revenge plot remains thinly described. An A certificate may signal adult themes, but it is not proof of quality, and soundtrack launch claims about breaking records are promotion, not evidence. The useful test will be whether Toxic earns strong reviews and sustained audiences across languages after its August 26 release, rather than how loud the pre-release campaign becomes.
