Toxic has unveiled a new teaser showcasing the film's star-studded female cast, offering first glimpses of Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi and Rukmini Vasanth alongside lead star Yash.
The makers of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups have released a new teaser for Yash's upcoming period gangster drama, ahead of its August 26, 2026, theatrical release.
Toxic has generated massive buzz ever since it was announced, largely because it brings Yash back to cinemas after four years.
After the KGF films, Yash has remained tight-lipped about the project, while the makers have shared only a few promotional glimpses.
The latest teaser has now fueled even more excitement.
It introduces the female cast of the film through a voiceover that explores the theme of how "love makes women monsters."
The newly released teaser briefly showcased Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Nayanthara and Rukmini Vasanth in unique avatars, teasing their characters in the film.
Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria and Huma Qureshi are seen in glamorous avatars, while Nayanthara and Rukmini Vasanth are presented in more action-oriented sequences.
Though plot details remain undisclosed, the teaser positions the female characters as central to the story.
