'Toxic – A Fairytale for Grown Ups': Yash's look hints at a raw transformation, teaser to be unveiled on the actor's birthday

Yash has once again created a buzz on the internet with the release of his new poster for his upcoming movie ‘Toxic – A Fairytale for Grown Ups.’ Out on Wednesday, the poster shows the actor on fire, giving off a different and almost supernatural energy that his diehard fans will love.

It highlights the movie's dark and intense tone and indicates total transformation by Yash, who has been away from the big screen for a long time. Besides unveiling the poster, there was something to look forward to in the future as well, the release of the teaser for 'Toxic' on January 8, Yash’s 40th birthday, who will now also have something else to celebrate on his special day.

Teaser release date and time add to birthday buzz

The teaser release has caused a lot of excitement, more so the timing is on the poster.

It is at 10:10 pm on January 8, and everyone is talking about it. However, the creators have not revealed themselves, but it is evident the timing and the announcement were made purposely to attract attention. Considerable attention has already been attracted by just the poster, and curiosity is already rife on what the teaser has to offer Yash's look, the film's universe, or its grim tone.

A never-seen-before Yash

Fueling further excitement, a recent report called the teaser “raw and stylish,” hinting that Yash's Avatar will be a never-seen-before one.

Reports claim that the teaser does not include a traditional hero intro and instead leans on building atmosphere, setting, emotional appeal, and character development. This aligns with the film's tagline, 'A Fairytale for Grown Ups', which suggests a unique, multi-dimensional narrative style.

Strong cast, global scale, and high expectations build momentum

The film has already generated significant buzz with the release of the first-look posters, showcasing leading actresses Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, and Tara Sutaria, each with their own unique aesthetic. ‘Toxic’ is written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas, directed by Geetu Mohandas, and depicts a dual language task, being made in both Kannada and English, in addition to different dubbed versions. Supported by an impressive technical roster and the participation of international action directors, the film is designed as a big-budget spectacle with global reach, and the January 8 teaser is now viewed as a significant glimpse of the expansive world of the film.
