Yash had initially planned to bring Toxic to theatres in March, aiming for a grand release despite the intense competition at the box office with Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
Industry insiders reportedly advised him to postpone the film and avoid a direct clash with such a massive film.
However, Yash is said to have remained firm on his decision at the time, believing that delaying the film would disappoint his fans who had been eagerly waiting for his comeback after the phenomenal success of KGF.
But the situation surrounding Toxic has now become increasingly uncertain.
What once appeared to be a confidently planned release is now surrounded by confusion and speculation within trade circles.
The biggest concern, according to ongoing industry talk, is the pending OTT deal.
Sources claim that unless the digital rights agreement is finalized on favorable terms, the film may not move ahead toward a theatrical release anytime soon.
This unexpected delay has raised doubts about the project’s immediate future, leaving the industry curious about when Toxic will finally see the light of day.
The hero who once proudly spoke about his unstoppable stardom and fan power is now struggling to even finalize a release date.
