Kannada superstar Yash's upcoming film Toxic has been rescheduled from its June release window. The actor announced the news on X, adding that the decision follows the film’s presentation at CinemaCon.

"There are films we make, and then there are films that remind us why we fell in love with cinema. Toxic has been one such journey. Presenting our film at CinemaCon and witnessing the overwhelming global response reaffirmed what we have always believed that this film deserves to reach its fullest potential worldwide. Toxic is complete, and we are currently aligning global distribution and partnerships. In light of this, we have decided to recalibrate our release timeline. While we will not be releasing on June 4 as announced earlier, we will be releasing at a later, globally aligned date," Yash wrote in a statement.

While the actor didn't announce a date for release, he wrote that the film will reach theatres across the world soon. "At a time when Indian cinema is finding its voice and stepping onto the global stage with such promise, each of us has a responsibility to raise the bar. As an actor-producer, I see this moment as an opportunity to do my part for the Indian film industry and for all of us by taking the time to ensure our film reaches the world with the impact it is meant to have. Through every step and every change, your support has stayed with me, and I carry it with deep gratitude."

The film, which was intitially supposed to be released in March, was pushed to June due to the ongoing crisis in West Asia.

Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups stars Yash alongside Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria. Shot in Kannada and English, the film will also release in dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. The film is produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations.
