Are you ready to see the “Rocking Star” like never before? After the massive global success of KGF: Chapter 2, fans have been waiting for years to see what Yash would do next. The wait is almost over. The makers of his next big film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, just dropped a brand new poster that has everyone talking—and it confirms exactly when we get our first real look at the movie.
The official Toxic Teaser Release Date has been set, and it’s happening sooner than you think.
The New Poster: Snow, Blood, and Mystery
On February 19, 2026, a stunning new poster was shared by the film’s team and top critics like Taran Adarsh. It’s a far cry from the golden dusty world of KGF. This time, we see Yash’s character, Raya, standing in the middle of a cold, bloody snowstorm.
With his back to the camera and a bottle held high, the image feels heavy, dark, and intense. The tagline, “A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups,” tells us this won’t be a typical hero story. It looks like a gritty, violent world where the lines between good and bad are very blurry.
Toxic Teaser Release Date and Time
If you’ve been counting down the days, here is the official schedule you need to save:
- Teaser Release Date: February 20, 2026
- Teaser Release Time: 9:35 AM IST
The makers have decided to release the teaser in just one language first. They want to keep the impact “raw” and keep the story a secret for as long as possible. Early buzz says the teaser is stylish, fresh, and shows a completely different side of Yash.

Toxic isn’t just about Yash. It features a massive pan-India cast that brings together some of the biggest names in the business:

The Big Box Office Battle
The movie is set to hit theaters on March 19, 2026, right during the big festive weekend of Ugadi, Gudi Padwa, and Eid. However, it won’t be alone. Toxic is heading for a giant clash with Dhurandhar 2, making it one of the most talked-about box office face-offs of the year.
Despite some rumors about delays, the director, Geetu Mohandas, has confirmed that they are staying on track. The team is ready to “stir up a storm” and reclaim Yash’s spot at the top of the Indian box office.
Why Fans Are So Excited
Social media is already full of fan theories. While a few people were worried about the darker tone of earlier glimpses, most fans are cheering for Yash’s “monster comeback.” Phrases like “The Lion stands TALL” are trending on X, and the film is already sitting at the top of IMDb’s most anticipated movies list.
With high-octane action, a 1940s-70s gangster setting in Goa, and a ruthless anti-hero at the center, Toxic is shaping up to be a game-changer for Indian cinema.
