To mark Yash’s 39th birthday, the makers released a special teaser titled ‘Birthday Peek.’ In this teaser, Yash showcases a completely new look, far different from his iconic role in KGF Chapter 2. His gangster avatar, surrounded by girls, has already caught the attention of fans with its cool and stylish vibe. Although the teaser doesn’t reveal much, it has sparked a lot of curiosity among viewers.
While the official release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, reports suggest that Toxic will hit theaters in December 2025. With the success and hype of KGF Chapter 2 still fresh, the film is expected to open strong, possibly earning a 100 crore net opening at the Indian box office.
The film’s casting and scale are designed to appeal to audiences across India, aiming for a pan-India reach. Given Yash’s nationwide popularity post-KGF, and with the right promotional push, Toxic has the potential to be a massive hit.
If everything goes according to plan, Toxic could become another blockbuster, marking a major comeback for Sandalwood after a few years of low box office performance. In 2022, both KGF Chapter 2 and Kantara set the box office on fire, and now, Yash could repeat that success, giving the Kannada film industry another century-opening hit after two years.
