Rocking Star Yash steps into his fourth decade, and fans couldn’t be happier with the release of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups teaser as his birthday treat. Introducing him as Raya, the teaser captivates the attention of movie buffs within the first few minutes. Yash roars as Raya in a bold, never-before-seen avatar. “Daddy’s Home” echoes through the savage reveal.

Through a powerful, bold, and high-impact announcement, the Toxic teaser has piqued audience curiosity to its zenith. Slated for release on March 19, 2026, the movie also stars Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria alongside Rocking Star Yash.

Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups Teaser: What to Expect?

After the successful reveal of the female characters on January 8, 2026, the makers unveiled the first look of Yash as Raya. The most anticipated movie is not only built around one spectacle, but also powerful characters that help the narrative unfold with every step.

With Raya, a role essayed by Yash, as the focal point, the plot is set against the haunting stillness of a cemetery, which gradually transforms into chaos. The teaser reaches its peak with a combination of gunfire cuts through the silence, scattered bodies, and smoke while unveiling Raya’s composed and unflinching nature. Yash as Raya exudes pure authority, intent, confidence, and power. Moreover, the dark and unapologetic tone of the 2-minute-51-second teaser doesn’t tap into themes of familiarity or comfort. Rather, it explores boldness with uncompromising visuals.

Undoubtedly, directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film is expected to leave a lasting impact on the audience amidst the Dhurandhar 2 anticipation. Talking about Yash, as an actor, co-writer, and co-producer, he consistently chooses ambition over safety and vision over formula. The newly released teaser takes the audience through the world of Toxic. It offers a deep dive into the immersive looks of Raya, who echoes ‘Daddy’s Home’ through every action-driven visual.

Penned by Yash and Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under the banners of KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. It also includes a formidable technical lineup, including National Award-winning cinematographer Rajeev Ravi, editing by Ujwal Kulkarni, music by Ravi Basrur, and production design by TP Abid. Mounted on a big budget, the stunts are choreographed by Hollywood action director JJ Perry, National Award-winning action directors Anbariv and Kecha Khamphakdee. Despite clashing with Aditaya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2 during the festive occasions of Eid, Ugadi, and Gudi Padwa, Rocking Star Yash embraces the challenge and takes a risk. This time, the actor is definitely home, setting ablaze on the silver screen!
