Jointly produced by KVN Productions and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups is already among the most anticipated Indian films of 2026.

Set against the backdrop of Goa, the film tells the story of a powerful drug cartel operating in the shadows of sunlit beaches and vibrant local culture. Shot in Kannada and English, the film will also be dubbed in Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, and Tamil.

The leak has only heightened anticipation for the film, with fans eager to see Yash’s intense portrayal in this dark, gripping tale.
