The buzz around Yash's next big-screen venture is turning into a roar. His upcoming film, Toxic, isn't even out yet, but it's already making serious money. Advance bookings have surged, pulling in a staggering ₹24.27 crore gross before the first show even begins.
Building Momentum Ahead of Release
Audience excitement is palpable. The numbers aren't just impressive; they signal a film that's captured the public's imagination weeks before its debut. Industry watchers are leaning in, noting that this kind of pre-release energy often forecasts a major box office event.
The strong advance booking figures suggest high audience anticipation and potential for a powerful opening weekend.
Navigating Buzz and Backlash
It hasn't been all smooth sailing. The film has also faced some criticism regarding its portrayal of women, prompting star Yash himself to publicly defend director Geetu Mohandas. "There is a voice for women in this film," he stated, addressing the concerns head-on. This dialogue has added another layer to the pre-release conversation, making Toxic one of the most talked-about projects of the season.

All eyes are now on August 26. The official release date is the moment of truth, where advance hype meets audience reception. With a reported dual role for Yash and a cast that includes Kiara Advani as Nadia and Nayanthara as his sister, the film has no shortage of talking points.
