Yash-Nayanthara's Toxic set for OTT release after theatrical run
After a mixed response in theatres, Yash's Toxic is reportedly set to stream on ZEE5 from September 25, 2026.
South star Yash's film "Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups" was highly awaited by audiences. After "KGF: Chapter 2", Yash was returning to the big screen, so expectations from the film were also very high. But after release, these expectations seemed to be dashed to some extent. The film did not get the box office success that was expected. Now, after theatres, "Toxic" is set to arrive on OTT.
"Toxic" is directed by Geetu Mohandas, and it is a pan-India gangster action drama film. After release, the film's story received mixed reactions. Some viewers praised the film, while others expressed displeasure over the story and its presentation. Opinion on social media also appeared divided over the film.
Now, viewers who did not watch the film in theatres have their eyes on its OTT release. According to media reports, "Toxic", featuring Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth in lead roles, may stream on ZEE5 on September 25, 2026.
According to a 123Telugu report, "Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups" is expected to have its OTT premiere on September 25. However, no official announcement of this date has yet been made by the film's makers or the OTT platform concerned. So it cannot be said for certain yet that this release date is final.
If the September 25 date is confirmed, "Toxic" will be available on OTT within about a month of its theatrical release. The film is also likely to be made available in different languages.
In "Toxic", Yash plays a gangster. The film's story is set against the backdrop of post-independence Goa. The story revolves around the crime world, action, relationships, loyalty and clashes of morality. Yash's character's journey appears caught between loyalty, morality and remorse.
The film is directed by Geetu Mohandas, and along with Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth are also in key roles. After not getting the expected response in theatres, all eyes are now on how audiences respond to "Toxic" on OTT.
