The trailer is packed with disturbing glimpses.
The trailer for Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups was released on August 8, 2026, to significant excitement from fans across the country.
The film sees Yash return in a commanding avatar reminiscent of his iconic KGF persona, set against the vibrant backdrop of 1980s Goa.
The trailer opens with a deeply troubled, toxic father-son relationship that immediately establishes the film’s dark, complex emotional core.
Amid blazing guns and relentless violence, the promo offers a glimpse into the layered relationships between Yash, Kiara Advani and Tara Sutaria’s characters.
Yash plays a dual role in the film, portraying both father and son through the characters of Raya and Rumi, also known as Ticket.
The trailer is packed with disturbing glimpses of misogyny, heartbreak, rage and greed that paint a viscerally intense picture of its world.
A possible ideological clash between the father and son’s worldviews is also hinted at throughout the gripping and action-heavy promo.
The trailer culminates in a dramatic bare-handed battle between Yash’s two characters, Raya and Toxic, in a thrilling confrontation.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film boasts an extraordinary ensemble cast that brings together some of Indian cinema’s biggest names.
Kiara Advani plays Nadia, Huma Qureshi portrays Elizabeth, Nayanthara takes on the role of Ganga, and Tara Sutaria plays Rebecca.
Rukmini Vasanth also features in a key role as Melissa in the ambitious and visually striking production.
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups was simultaneously shot in Kannada and English.
Dubbed versions are planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and several other languages to maximise the film’s reach.
National Award-winning cinematographer Rajeev Ravi handles the film’s visuals while composer Ravi Basrur returns to deliver the film’s soundtrack.
The film’s action sequences are helmed by Hollywood’s JJ Perry, widely celebrated for his work on the acclaimed John Wick franchise.
Top Indian stunt experts Anbariv and Kecha Khamphakdee have also been brought on board to contribute to the film’s high-octane action.
On the music front, the film’s recently released song ‘Manamohaka’ features Yash, Tara and Kiara, exploring the complex relationships between their characters.
The film’s first song ‘Tabaahi’ had already generated significant social media reactions centred around Yash and Kiara’s on-screen chemistry.
‘Tabaahi’ also sparked a divided conversation among viewers regarding the portrayal of intimacy in mainstream Indian.
Both songs have contributed to building the considerable anticipation surrounding the film ahead of its rapidly approaching theatrical release.
