Toxic
Reveal:
The
makers
of
Toxic:
A
Fairy
Tale
for
Grown-Ups
have
unveiled
the
character
of
lead
actor
Yash
through
a
dedicated
character
reveal
video
released
today,
January
8,
coinciding
with
the
actor’s
40th
birthday.
The
2-minute-51-second
video
introduces
Yash’s
character,
Raya.
Rather
than
functioning
as
a
conventional
teaser,
the
newly
released
video
focuses
specifically
on
Raya
without
revealing
broader
plot
details.
The
makers
had
earlier
indicated
that
the
release
would
be
a
“reveal,”
and
the
video
aligns
with
that
description
by
centering
entirely
on
Yash’s
character.
Directed
by
Geetu
Mohandas,
Toxic:
A
Fairy
Tale
for
Grown-Ups
is
positioned
as
a
period
gangster
film
and
has
been
shot
simultaneously
in
Kannada
and
English.
The
project
is
jointly
produced
by
Venkat
K.
Narayana
and
Yash
under
the
banners
KVN
Productions
and
Monster
Mind
Creations.
The
film
is
scheduled
for
a
worldwide
theatrical
release
on
March
19,
2026,
coinciding
with
the
Ugadi
festival.
Earlier
Character
Introductions
And
Key
Technical
Details
In
the
months
leading
up
to
the
reveal
of
Raya,
the
production
team
released
individual
character
posters
introducing
the
film’s
female
cast.
Rukmini
Vasanth
was
introduced
as
Mellisa,
Tara
Sutaria
as
Rebecca,
Nayanthara
as
Ganga,
Huma
Qureshi
as
Elizabeth,
and
Kiara
Advani
as
Nadia.
While
these
posters
offered
a
visual
introduction
to
the
characters,
the
makers
have
so
far
kept
narrative
specifics
under
wraps.
From
a
technical
standpoint,
the
film
brings
together
cinematographer
Rajeev
Ravi
and
music
composer
Ravi
Basrur,
with
editing
by
Ujwal
Kulkarni.
Action
sequences
are
being
handled
by
an
international
and
Indian
team
that
includes
J.
J.
Perry
and
Kecha
Khamphakdee,
among
others.
Visual
effects
for
the
film
are
being
produced
by
DNEG.
With
Yash’s
character
now
formally
introduced
as
Raya,
Toxic:
A
Fairy
Tale
for
Grown-Ups
enters
its
next
phase
of
promotion
ahead
of
its
2026
theatrical
release.
The
makers
are
yet
to
confirm
when
additional
footage
or
a
full
teaser
outlining
the
film’s
larger
narrative
will
be
released.
