Yash Defends Pushing ‘Toxic’ Again to Lock Global Release Partners

The completed film now awaits a globally aligned launch to match new overseas distribution plans.

Overview

  • Yash, in coverage published Sunday, said he postponed Toxic again to finalize international distribution deals after the film drew strong interest from global buyers at CinemaCon.
  • He added that the movie is complete and that he wants a worldwide launch that lets it reach its fullest potential, even if that means waiting longer.
  • The release shifted from an April 2025 plan to March 19, 2026, then to June 4 because of Middle East tensions and to avoid a box-office clash with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2.
  • With June 4 scrapped, the team has not announced a new date and says the next window will be set once partners are aligned across key markets.
  • Co-star Tara Sutaria, speaking at Cannes, backed the delay as a smart long-term call and said the ensemble drama will reward the wait.
