Toxic English Version Pulled After Weak Week One
Toxic is a film starring Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas.
It was made in both Kannada and English.
The English version came to Indian theatres on September 4.
It did well on its first day but attracted fewer viewers afterward.
It earned about Rs.
3.16 lakh in its first week.
Because very few people were buying tickets, theatres stopped showing that version on September 11.
Reports also say the whole film may lose nearly Rs.
300 crore.
The filmmakers have not officially confirmed why the English version was removed.
The English version of Yash-starrer Toxic was removed from Indian theatres after one week.
It reportedly earned Rs. 3.16 lakh during its first week, including Rs. 1.38 lakh on opening day.
The version was released in India on September 4 and withdrawn from theatres from Friday, September 11.
Toxic was shot simultaneously in Kannada and English and dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
Industry estimates cited in reports suggest the film could face losses of nearly Rs. 300 crore, while its digital-rights value has also been affected.
