Toxic Theatrical Rights (AP/TG): Dil Raju's SVC Secures Distribution Deal In Huge Price For Yash Starrer

Hyderabad, February 6 - The buzz around superstar Yash's Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups has intensified after the makers officially locked a theatrical deal for the Telugu states. Producer Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations has officially been confirmed to distribute the movie in AP/TG. On Friday (February 6), producers KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations officially confirmed on social media that the theatrical distribution deal for Toxic has been locked for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. While the makers didn't reveal the acquisition's price, credible reports suggest that the deal has been locked for 120 crores. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If true, it is among the biggest ever deals for a non-Telugu film. Interestingly, the movie will be clashing with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar The Revenge, which is itself carrying huge buzz in Telugu states. This shows that the makers are super confident that Toxic will deliver rich results at the box office in the Southern State. The gangster action drama is certainly one of the hottest properties for the big screens, especially given that it is the first movie of Yash after the all-time blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2, which was a massive success in Telugu states with around 140 crores gross collection. Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic has been simultaneously shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and several other languages for its global ambition. The film is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026. Stay tuned...

Toxic and Dacoit Postponed? Are Yash and Adivi Sesh Moving Dates to Avoid the Dhurandhar 2 Storm?

The Indian film calendar for 2026 is undergoing a major reshuffle as the Dhurandhar wave continues to dominate the industry. Following the unprecedented success of Aditya Dhar's first installment, filmmakers are reportedly reconsidering their release strategies to avoid a head-on collision with the upcoming sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. While one major project has officially moved its date, speculation is mounting that another pan-India giant might also seek a safer release window. It is now official that the Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur starrer Dacoit has been postponed. Originally slated for a high-profile theatrical premiere on March 19, 2026—the exact same day as the massive espionage sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge—the makers have decided to push the film to a later date to avoid a head-on collision. While the production house has officially cited post-production requirements as the reason for the delay, industry insights suggest that the primary driver is the anticipated dominance and massive screen occupancy expected for the Ranveer Singh-starrer. For a stylized actioner like Dacoit, securing a sufficient number of screens against a billion-dollar franchise would be an uphill battle. Consequently, the makers are now reportedly eyeing an April 2026 release, seeking a clearer window that would allow the film the breathing room it needs to maximize its box office potential. The bigger question mark surrounds Yash's highly anticipated pan-India film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. While there is no official confirmation yet, rumors are rife that the Geetu Mohandas directorial may also move its release date. Toxic is currently one of the most awaited films in Indian cinema, and a clash with Dhurandhar 2 would mean a division of screens and box office potential between two of the biggest giants of the year. While Yash's stardom is massive, the momentum behind the Dhurandhar franchise has created a situation where even the biggest producers are hesitant to risk a day-and-date clash. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The hesitation among filmmakers stems from the historic performance of the first Dhurandhar, which released on December 5, 2025. The film became an all-time blockbuster, recording a Worldwide Collection of ₹1303 Crore and an India Gross of ₹1004 Crore. What has truly added fuel to the fire is the film's record-breaking OTT trajectory. While the theatrical release was restricted to the Hindi language, the digital premiere on Netflix included Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada versions. This move allowed the film to penetrate the South Indian markets, where it became a massive hit among audiences and industry professionals alike. The digital release achieved an unprecedented milestone: within just 48 hours, Dhurandhar topped the trending charts in more than 10 countries, including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Malaysia, Singapore, and Canada, as well as entering the Global Top 10 (Non-English) list. This streaming explosion transformed the film from a Hindi-language hit into a verified pan-India brand. The resulting hype has made Dhurandhar: The Revenge a much more formidable force than its predecessor, effectively turning the sequel into a must-watch event across all territories and forcing competitors to rethink their release windows. From a trade perspective, releasing two high-stakes films like Toxic and Dhurandhar 2 simultaneously is widely considered a poor move. Both films represent high production values and expect a massive opening. By staggering the releases, the industry ensures that each giant gets the breathing room required to maximize its box office potential. As of now, the world awaits March 19, 2026, to see if Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar can replicate the ₹1300 crore magic, and whether other films will clear the path for this cinematic storm.

Yash's Toxic Tease Arriving Tomorrow: Everything You Need to Know About the Rocking Star's Stylized Actioner

The wait is finally ending for millions of fans across the globe. Rocking Star Yash is all set to break his long hiatus after the record-shattering KGF: Chapter 2. As confirmed by top trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the first official Tease of his next venture, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, is scheduled to drop tomorrow, January 8, 2026, at 10:10 AM. The makers have clarified that this isn't just a trailer or a teaser, but a specialized Tease designed to set the mood for what is being called Yash's most experimental role to date. The hype surrounding Toxic is unprecedented, primarily because it marks Yash's first film in nearly four years. Since KGF 2 became the Highest Grossing Indian Film of the Year (HGOTY) in 2022, the actor has been extremely selective, spending years on the pre-production and filming of Toxic. The tagline A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups has sparked intense curiosity, suggesting a dark, gritty, and perhaps hallucinogenic action-drama that moves away from the traditional masala tropes, yet retains the larger than life aura associated with the Rocking Star. Toxic is helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Geetu Mohandas, celebrated for her raw and internationally recognized storytelling in films like Moothon. This unique collaboration between a visionary director and a mass superstar like Yash is expected to deliver a high-concept cinematic experience unlike anything seen before. Produced as a joint venture between KVN Productions and Yash's own banner, Monster Mind Creations, the film is being mounted on a gargantuan budget with top-tier international technicians overseeing its high-octane action sequences and VFX. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The makers have officially revealed character posters introducing the film's powerful female lineup. South Lady Superstar Nayanthara makes a lethal entry as Ganga (reportedly playing a pivotal role as Yash's sister), while Kiara Advani is introduced as Nadia, set to play the female lead. The cast also features Tara Sutaria as the fierce Rebecca, Huma Qureshi as the primary antagonist Elizabeth, and Rukmini Vasanth as the poised Mellisa. This multi-industry lineup, which also includes Akshay Oberoi and Sudev Nair, confirms Toxic as a truly global project with high-profile talent from across Indian cinema. Revealing the ONE they warned you about.10:10 AM | 08-01-2026 #ToxicTheMovie#TOXIC #TOXIConMarch19th@TheNameIsYash#Nayanthara@humasqureshi @advani_kiara @rukminitweets #TaraSutaria #GeetuMohandas @RaviBasrur #RajeevRavi #UjwalKulkarni #TPAbid #MohanBKere… pic.twitter.com/7KsfjVoh7X— KVN Productions (@KvnProductions) January 7, 2026 The release date on the poster is officially locked for March 19, 2026. This sets the stage for what trade analysts are calling the Battle of the Century. Yash's Toxic will head into a direct collision with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 (Dhurandhar: Revenge). With Dhurandhar currently standing as one of the highest-grossing original Hindi films (chasing Pushpa 2's record), the sequel carries massive momentum. However, Yash's track record with KGF 2 (₹859.7 Cr India Net) makes Toxic the biggest possible threat to any Bollywood blockbuster. This two-way clash is expected to lead to a severe screen-sharing crunch, with both films eyeing over 5,000+ screens in India alone. Tomorrow's Tease is expected to shatter digital records on YouTube within minutes of its release, providing a first look at Yash's new avatar and the stylized world Geetu Mohandas has created.

Toxic vs Battle of Galwan: Yash Sets Up Massive Box Office War with Salman Khan on March 19, 2026

The Indian film industry is bracing for one of the most colossal box office showdowns in recent history. After a prolonged silence following the historic success of the KGF franchise, Rocking Star Yash is finally ready to unveil the world of his next massive project, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. According to the latest trade reports and social media updates, the makers are set to release a teaser on New Year 2026, officially kicking off the promotional campaign for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026. The road to this announcement has been paved with intense speculation and industry rumors. For months, reports of production delays, budget inflations, and creative differences have plagued the film. There was significant chatter in trade circles suggesting that Yash had taken over creative control, with some rumors even pointing toward him ghost-directing the project to ensure it meets the sky-high expectations set by KGF Chapter 2. However, the announcement of a concrete teaser drop and release date serves as a strategic move by the production team to silence the noise and shift the focus back to the film's scale and vision. What makes this release date particularly explosive is the direct competition it faces. Toxic is now slated to clash head-on with Salman Khan's highly anticipated war drama, Battle of Galwan. Produced by Salman Khan Films and directed by Apoorva lakhia, who previously delivered the hit crime thriller Shootout at Lokhandwala, The March 19 date, which coincides with the festive window of Ugadi and Gudi Padwa, is a lucrative period that both production houses are eager to capitalize on. The stakes could not be higher for both superstars. For Yash, Toxic represents his first outing without director Prashanth Neel, and the industry is watching closely to see if he can replicate his Pan-India dominance with director Geetu Mohandas, known for her indie sensibilities. For Salman Khan, Battle of Galwan offers a chance to return to the grounded, high-emotion action genre that resonates deeply with domestic audiences. This clash draws parallels to previous industry battles, such as the face-off between Dunki and Salaar, proving that the trend of massive films colliding on festive dates is here to stay. As the New Year approaches, all eyes will be on the Toxic teaser. If the promotional material manages to capture the dark, stylish aesthetic promised by the title, the Battle of Galwan team will have a formidable adversary to contend with. With two distinct genres—a stylized gangster drama versus a patriotic war film—audiences will likely be the ultimate winners in this box office duel of 2026.
