EXCLUSIVE BUZZ: Yash in talks with 20th Century Fox for International Distribution of Toxic; December 2025 release

As a hardcore Kannada cinema enthusiast with over two decades of fandom under my belt, I can’t help but feel an electrifying surge of anticipation when it comes to Yash and his upcoming gangster thriller, Toxic. Having witnessed the meteoric rise of this charismatic actor from his humble beginnings in television soap operas to the towering figure he is today, I’ve come to appreciate his uncanny ability to captivate audiences with his raw talent and infectious screen presence.

With Geethu Mohandas at the helm, a director whose masterful storytelling has already left an indelible mark on Indian cinema, Toxic promises to be a cinematic tour de force that will leave no stone unturned in delivering pulse-pounding action and riveting drama. The fact that Kiara Advani and Nayanthara have joined the cast only heightens my excitement, as these two powerhouse actresses are known for their exceptional performances and undeniable star power.

But what truly sets Toxic apart is Yash’s ambitious vision to make it a global project. This isn’t just another Indian film aiming for international recognition; this is a movie that aspires to compete with the best in the world, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it. The fact that 20th Century Fox might come on board as an international distributor only adds fuel to the fire, as their track record speaks volumes about the kind of projects they support.

In a nutshell, Toxic is shaping up to be the ultimate cinematic experience for me – a blend of high-octane action, gripping drama, and a cast that is second to none. And if you ask me, I’d say Yash and his team are on track to create a masterpiece that will not only redefine Kannada cinema but also establish India as a force to be reckoned with in the global film industry.

As for a joke, let me just say this: If Toxic were a snake, it would be a cobra – deadly, hypnotic, and ready to strike at any moment. But don’t worry, I won’t bite…unless you’re a box office record!

Initially, TopMob broke the news about Yash collaborating with acclaimed director Geethu Mohandas for an upcoming gangster thriller following the sensational triumphs of KGF and KGF 2. Subsequently, we shared that Kiara Advani and Nayanthara would be prominently featured in this project. Currently, Toxic is being filmed, with a scheduled release on the big screen in 2025. Now, TopMob has obtained exclusive information that Yash and his production partners, KVN, are intending to expand Toxic into an international production.

Based on reports from insiders involved in the process, it appears that Yash and KVN Productions are holding negotiations with 20th Century Fox regarding their potential role as the international distributor for the gangster drama titled “Toxic.” The early-stage discussions aim to transform this project into a global production. A source close to the development shared that Yash is convinced that the narrative and visuals of “Toxic” are on par with international productions, hence his interest in collaborating with a renowned global studio for a widespread release.

By Summer 2025, we’ll have a better understanding of the release timeline for Toxic’s international distribution, as talks are ongoing with various parties. However, it’s Yash and Geethu Mohandas who are primarily focusing on bringing this movie to theaters in December 2025, though the exact date is still under consideration and will be decided once production wraps up.
