Film finally set for August release after multiple delays

In a statement issued earlier, the producers said the film’s release was being recalibrated to ensure a wider international rollout.
“There are films we make, and then there are films that remind us why we fell in love with cinema. Toxic has been one such journey,” the statement said.
Yash had also stated that the delay would help ensure the film reached global audiences with the scale and impact intended by the makers.
