The trailer of Yash's 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' was released on Saturday, showcasing a period action thriller set in Goa from the 1940s to 1970s. Yash plays a ruthless mobster named Raya, whose relationship with his son Ticket drives the plot. The film also stars Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth.

At the trailer launch, Yash revealed the film was shot for 200 days in two versions, English and Kannada, and dismissed repeated rumours that the project had been shelved. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, 'Toxic' is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on August 26 in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.

The film's multiple delays and 'shelved' rumours have built curiosity but also scepticism. While Yash's four-and-a-half-year commitment is impressive, the early controversy over the cemetery scene and the makers' tight-lipped approach to the plot leave genuine questions. The real test will be if the sprawling cast and grand production yield a coherent story, not just noise. Watch the first weekend's box office numbers.
