# Yash’s Toxic to release in over 12,000 screens worldwide 2026-08-20T22:55:52+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Yash's upcoming film Toxic will have a massive worldwide release in over 12,000 screens, with advance bookings opening on Friday. The film will be released in six languages: Kannada, English, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam, aiming to reach audiences across regions. According to NDTV Profit, the film's advance bookings open this Friday. Meanwhile, m9.news reports that Hindi advance bookings for Toxic have started impressively, exceeding initial expectations of Rs 30 crore nett opening day. The portal speculates the film could surpass openings of recent films by NTR, Ram Charan and Prabhas, though it cautions that early figures might be driven by producer-side promotion and could change. Toxic is Yash's first film after the 2022 blockbuster KGF 2. The film is scheduled for release on August 26. ## Indian Opinion Analysis NDTV Profit reports the release and language details as a neutral industry announcement. M9.news leads with speculation and exaggerated box office claims, typical of its sensationalist style, emphasising a "big surprise" and comparing Yash to other stars without concrete data. The middle ground: advance bookings are reportedly strong, but the actual opening day figure will only be known after release. Watch for final advance booking numbers closer to August 26 to gauge real demand. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 1 neutral, 1 sensationalist - ndtvprofit.com (neutral report) Reports release details factually without speculation. - m9.news (sensationalist) Focuses on box office hype and comparisons, with caveats.
