Yash's Toxic to See Record-Breaking Box Office in Karnataka
Yash is a very famous movie star in India, especially in the state of Karnataka.
He is getting ready to release a new film called Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups.
It is a crime-thriller, which means it is filled with mystery and suspense.
The makers want the film to play in almost every theatre in Karnataka on its first day.
That would be the biggest release ever for a Kannada film.
They are trying to beat the opening day record set by Yash's own earlier movie, KGF Chapter 2.
People are very excited, and many have been posting about the film on social media.
The trailer will be shown on August 8, 2026, and the movie comes out around the world on August 26, 2026.
Many famous actors like Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, and Huma Qureshi star alongside Yash.
Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is eyeing the widest-ever theatrical release for a Kannada film in Karnataka.
The film could break KGF Chapter 2's Karnataka opening day record of Rs 26.5 crore gross, which Kantara Chapter 1 fell short of at Rs 23.5 crore.
Monster Mind Creations has partnered with KVN Productions for self-distribution, marking Yash's entry into film distribution.
Ticket rate hikes are expected across Karnataka theatres, which could push opening day numbers higher.
The crime-thriller, directed by Geetu Mohandas, releases worldwide on August 26, 2026, with its trailer launching on August 8.
