Toxic Teaser/Trailer: Yash-fronted Action Drama To Unveil Teaser On January 8?

Mumbai, January 6 - Rocking Star Yash's much-anticipated action drama Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups continues to be in headlines ever since it was announced. Over the last couple of weeks, the makers have been treating fans with continuous updates regarding the film's cast, which is filed by strong female characters. The makers first unveiled Kiara Advani's character, followed by Huma Qureshi, Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth, and as per the latest update, all these character reveals are built up to a major reveal on Yash's birthday. While the official announcement is yet to be made, the movie is in the spotlight, as rumours suggest that the film's teaser could be unveiled on January 8. January 8 holds special significance as it marks Yash's birthday, a date traditionally associated with major announcements and reveals related to the actor.

However, it is worth noting that these details remain speculative, and the team behind Toxic has not yet issued an official announcement regarding the teaser or trailer release date. Directed by Geethu Mohandas, Toxic is touted to be a period gangster action drama, made on a grand scale and mounted as a bilingual project. Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, the film has already generated massive curiosity due to its unique title, international technical crew, and Yash's first film after the blockbuster KGF franchise.

Tiger Shroff Confirms His Rambo Is Back On Track After Years Of Uncertainty

Mumbai, January 6 - Months after Rambo was reportedly shelved, Tiger Shroff has finally put an end to speculation surrounding his much-anticipated action project. The actor has confirmed that the film is now back on track after years of uncertainty and being reworked on a much bigger scale. The Hindi adaptation of Rambo was officially announced in 2018, with Tiger Shroff headlining the film. It was pitched as a high-octane action spectacle inspired by the iconic Hollywood franchise led by Sylvester Stallone. Given Tiger's reputation for intense action, combat skills, and physical transformation, the announcement generated massive buzz at the time. Back then, the makers promised a gritty, large-scale action film that would present Tiger in one of his most physically demanding roles. However, after the initial announcement and early pre-production talks, updates on the project slowly began to dry up. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Over the years, Rambo quietly slipped into limbo. Industry reports suggested that the film faced multiple roadblocks, including creative restructuring, budget concerns, and changing market dynamics. To proceed with the project became difficult as many of Tiger Shroff's big-budget action films failed at the box office, leading producers to rethink. By 2023–2024, reports emerged claiming that Rambo had been shelved, with some reports suggesting the makers were unsure about reviving the project in its original form due to Tiger Shroff's declining box office pull in action space. The absence of official updates further fueled speculation that the film had been dropped altogether. Putting all rumours to rest, Tiger Shroff has now confirmed to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that Rambo is very much alive. The actor revealed that the project had been stuck for nearly six years due to various reasons, but has finally found its way back into active development. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The actor reveals that this time, Rambo will not be a straightforward remake. Instead, the film is being reinvented, with a fresh approach that reflects his growth as an actor and action performer. He also hinted at a completely new look and a more evolved version of the character, suggesting that audiences can expect something significantly different from what was initially planned. However, the actors didn't reveal if it would be produced by Siddharth Anand and director Rohit Dhawan. More details are expected once Tiger completes his current assingments. Stay tuned...

Vijay's Jana Nayagan Makers Approach Madras High Court Over Censor Certificate Delay

Chennai, January 6 - The makers of Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan have moved the Madras High Court after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) failed to issue the film's censor certificate, just days ahead of its scheduled January 9, 2026, release. According to reports, the film was submitted for certification on December 18, 2025, and the makers have already complied with the minor modifications suggested by the CBFC. However, the certificate is still pending, forcing the makers to seek urgent legal intervention. An urgent hearing was listed on January 6.

While bookings have opened in overseas markets and a few Indian states, exhibitors in Tamil Nadu remain on hold, causing concern among distributors and theatre owners ahead of the Pongal festive period. Adding to the controversy, members of Vijay's political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), have criticised the delay, alleging that the certification process is being unnecessarily prolonged.

Jana Nayagan Vs The Raja Saab Overseas Advance Booking: Vijay Starrer Storms Ahead With Massive Lead

Chennai, January 6 - Thalapathy Vijay's swan song is heading for a massive start at the worldwide box office, and it seems to be winning the opening day battle against Prabhas' The Raja Saab, which is scheduled to hit the big screens on the same day, on January 9 in multiple languages. With just three days to go before release, the overseas box office battle between Vijay's Jana Nayagan and Prabhas' The Raja Saab is already turning one-sided. The advance booking trends clearly indicate that the Tamil political action drama has taken a commanding lead, setting the stage for a dominant opening overseas. According to the latest trade estimates, Jana Nayagan has crossed $3.5 million (32+ crores) in overseas pre-sales for the opening day alone, including premieres. The Vijay starrer is witnessing exceptional momentum across key international markets, including North America, the UK, and Malaysia. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Jana Nayagan is Vijay's last film before his full-time political entry, and that sentiment seems to be playing a big role in pre-sales. The actor's last few films have done well in pre-sales, but some of the markets are performing much better than on previous occasions. With bookings going strong and three full days remaining, the opening-day overseas figure is expected to climb even higher. On the other hand, The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas and positioned as a romantic horror-comedy entertainer, has so far recorded around $1 million (9 crores) in overseas advance sales for day 1+premieres. While the numbers are decent and show steady growth, they fall significantly short when compared to Jana Nayagan's blistering pace. With $3.5+ million vs $1 million in opening-day pre-sales, Jana Nayagan currently enjoys a lead of more than $2.5 million overseas, a gap that is considered substantial at this stage of the booking window. The Raja Saab will find it difficult, or it can be said that it is almost out of reach for the movie to close this margin before release day. Both films are gearing up for a massive festive release, and final results will ultimately depend on word of mouth, audience reception, and weekend walk-ins. However, going by current trends, Jana Nayagan is firmly placed for a record-breaking overseas opening, while The Raja Saab is expected to rely more on post-release growth. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, January 5 - Ranveer Singh's spy action thriller Dhurandhar is showing no sign of slowing down as it continues its historic box office run, smashing yet another major record in its fifth weekend and inching closer to rewriting the all-time Hindi cinema record books. The Aditya Dhar's directorial collected a phenomenal 33.25 crore net in its 5th weekend, making it not just the biggest 5th-weekend grosser in the history of Hindi cinema but also the biggest 5th week, after it crossed the entire 5th week total of Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which minted 30 crores net earlier last year.

As it stands, Dhurandhar is not just a blockbuster but a once-in-a-generation box office phenomenon, redefining longevity and setting new benchmarks. Stay tuned...
