Overview
- Makers announced on August 1 that the first full trailer for Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown‑Ups will be released on August 8 with a launch event in Bengaluru and the film will open in cinemas worldwide on August 26.
- Kiara Advani has defended her role as Nadia in recent interviews and the production released a new Nadia poster on her July 31 birthday to foreground the character’s emotional range.
- The campaign has leaned on mood pieces, character posters and songs such as 'Tabaahi' to build intrigue while keeping major plot details private.
- Promotional material from late 2025 through July 2026 drew criticism for suggestive imagery and a January complaint led the Karnataka State Women’s Commission to write to the CBFC about the film’s early teaser.
- Toxic was shot simultaneously in English and Kannada with planned dubs in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam and features international stunt coordination and a large female ensemble, meaning the trailer will help determine how the makers position the film across multiple markets.
