The much-anticipated film Toxic, starring Yash in the lead role, is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on March 19, 2026. With the official release date locked, the production team is gearing up for the next phase of filming in Mumbai, and Kiara is reportedly joining the 'KGF' star for the schedule. According to Pinkvilla, the Mumbai schedule is set to commence in the last week of March 2025.
Rocking Star Yash has already arrived in the city, and a recent video of him with his wife, Radhika Pandit, at the airport has taken the internet by storm. Reports suggest that soon-to-be mum Kiara Advani will also join the shoot. The upcoming sequences in Mumbai are expected to be high-intensity, featuring crucial dramatic moments filmed across various locations in the city.
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is being made simultaneously in Kannada and English and is helmed by filmmaker Geetu Mohandas. Apart from leading the film, Yash has co-written the screenplay alongside the director. Initial plans for Toxic suggested an April 10, 2025 release date, but due to production delays, it has been postponed to its new release date, coinciding with the Ugadi festival in March 2026.
The movie is also expected to feature an ensemble cast, including Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Darell D'Silva, and Akshay Oberoi. The level of anticipation is high, given Yash's last major performance in KGF: Chapter 2.
After wrapping up the Bengaluru schedule for Toxic, Yash was spotted arriving at Kalina Airport, as he geared up for the next leg of filming. Dramatic and intense scenes are lined up for the upcoming schedule, which will begin at the end of March 2025. A couple of days ago, a pregnant Kiara Advani was also seen on set, preparing for her shoot with Yash. The Mumbai schedule will include major dramatic sequences designed to highlight the chemistry between the lead actors.
The production team has meticulously scouted various locations throughout Mumbai to capture the dynamic spirit of the city, ensuring it plays a crucial role in the film's visual storytelling. Given the hype surrounding Toxic, these sequences are expected to add depth to the film's gripping storyline, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.
As the film gears up for this critical filming phase, expectations continue to grow. Just with the announcement of Toxic, immense excitement has built up around this gangster drama, distinguished by its unique premise and powerhouse cast. With major sequences planned to showcase high-octane action within a fairy-tale framework, it's poised to be a game-changer in the cinematic landscape.
Yash is also set to portray a key role in Nitesh Tiwari’s forthcoming film, Ramayana, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, further solidifying his status as a pan-India star. Kiara Advani was last seen in S Shankar’s Game Changer alongside Ram Charan, underlining her own role as a leading figure in contemporary cinema.
The film Toxic encapsulates the excitement of upcoming projects in the Indian film industry, reflective of the dynamic and evolving landscape. As production commences in Mumbai, fans and cinephiles alike are eager to witness what the film has to offer come March 2026.
