The trailer of Yash's upcoming gangster drama 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' was unveiled at a star-studded event in Bengaluru. The 4-minute-38-second footage, set in the 1990s, shows Yash playing a feuding father and son named Raaya and Ticket. The film marks his first release since the blockbuster 'KGF: Chapter 2'. Directed by National Award-winner Geetu Mohandas, the film stars Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, and Shiva Rajkumar. Yash addressed earlier criticism over alleged female objectification in teasers. The film is shot in Kannada and English and will release worldwide on August 26, 2026, in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
