The clock above counts down to Toxic, Yash's first film after KGF Chapter 2, releasing in theaters worldwide on June 4, 2026.
Toxic is the post-KGF return of Kannada star Yash, directed by Geetu Mohandas and produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. Marketed as a fairy tale for grown-ups in a neon-noir crime universe, the film leans into a dramatically different tonal register from the maximalist KGF saga. The film releases day-and-date across multiple Indian languages — Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam — and in international markets.
This is Yash's first onscreen project after the global success of KGF Chapter 2 (2022), which became the second highest-grossing Indian film at the time of release.
Toxic is positioned as a high-style crime drama with noir aesthetics rather than a continuation of the KGF format. Geetu Mohandas — known for festival-circuit dramas like Liar's Dice and Moothon — brings an arthouse-leaning sensibility to a star vehicle.
Toxic releases theatrically on June 4, 2026 across India and major international markets including the US, UK, UAE, Australia, and Singapore. Streaming windows are typically four to eight weeks post-release, with KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations confirming the streaming partner closer to launch.
