A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups finally has a release date! On Saturday, Yash took to Instagram to unveil a striking new poster and announced that the film will hit the big screens on March 19, 2026.
Yash vs. Ranbir Kapoor at the Box Office
What makes Toxic’s release even more thrilling is its direct clash with Love & War, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly awaited film starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. Bhansali’s film is set to release just a day later on March 20, 2026, setting the stage for an intense box-office battle between the two star-studded films.
Interestingly, Yash and Ranbir Kapoor are also working together in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana Part 1, which is scheduled to release on Diwali 2026.
Toxic Poster Unveiled
The newly released poster of Toxic features Yash in an all-black, stylish outfit, walking through the rain with a gun in hand, against a fiery backdrop. The intriguing imagery has already heightened fans’ anticipation.
In his caption, Yash kept it simple, only mentioning the release date: “19-03-2026.”
Toxic – A Landmark in Indian Cinema
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups will feature Kiara Advani as the female lead. The film marks a significant milestone in Indian cinema, as it is the first major production to be conceived, written, and shot in both English and Kannada. It will also be dubbed in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.
Speaking about the project, director Geetu Mohandas shared, “Our goal with Toxic was to create a story that resonates deeply with both Indian and global audiences. We’ve taken great care to capture the essence of the narrative in both Kannada and English, ensuring an immersive experience for viewers from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This film is designed to transcend borders, languages, and cultural barriers, connecting with people worldwide.”
Production and Expectations
Toxic is being jointly produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. With its unique bilingual approach, a compelling storyline, and Yash in the lead, the film is expected to create waves both in India and internationally.
With two major films—Toxic and Love & War—releasing back-to-back, March 2026 is shaping up to be an electrifying month for Bollywood and Kannada cinema fans alike.
