Kannada superstar Yash is gearing up for his next big cinematic spectacle, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, which has now been officially confirmed for an Ugadi 2026 release. The film, helmed by acclaimed director Geetu Mohandas, promises to deliver an intense and gripping experience, with Yash portraying a rugged, powerful character. Scheduled to hit theatres worldwide on March 19, 2026, Toxic will be released in multiple languages, including Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and even English, marking a massive international rollout.

The film, touted as a period drama set against the backdrop of a drug cartel in Goa, has already created waves with its intriguing premise and Yash’s commanding look in the newly released poster. Produced on a staggering budget of Rs 200 crore — double the budget of KGF: Chapter 2 — Toxic aims to redefine Yash’s on-screen persona, blending high-octane action with intense drama.

However, what’s making headlines beyond the film’s scale and story is its box-office clash with the much-anticipated Bollywood powerhouse Love and War. The epic drama stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, making it a colossal showdown between two cinematic giants. Both films are set to release during the festive weekend of Ugadi, Gudi Padwa, and Eid 2026, sparking immense buzz among fans and industry insiders alike.

Love and War, backed by industry veterans, carries its own weight with a star-studded cast and grand scale. The clash is being seen as a battle of titans — Yash, the face of Kannada cinema’s global success, going head-to-head with Bollywood’s top names. This face-off has already set social media ablaze, with fans debating which film will dominate the box office.

To build up excitement, the makers of Toxic are planning an extensive promotional tour across India, featuring Yash interacting with fans in key cities. Grand events, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and a massive digital campaign are also in the works. The teaser and trailer are expected to drop with synchronized premieres across major cities, ensuring a global buzz.
