The Telugu film industry is gearing up for an exciting period with some of the most promising and highly anticipated films set to hit the silver screens soon. Among these, two standout projects are Yash’s multi-starrer Toxic and Prabhas’ upcoming film The Raja Saab. However, it appears that Toxic is facing a delay, potentially to avoid clashing with The Raja Saab.
Release Date Clash: Toxic vs. The Raja Saab
Interestingly, both of these high-octane projects initially targeted the same release date. The makers of Toxic had previously announced April 10, 2025, as their release date. More recently, the makers of The Raja Saab also chose this date for their theatrical release. This scheduling overlap set the stage for an unprecedented box office clash between two films led by equally popular superstars. Amidst this, rumors have emerged suggesting that the makers of Toxic might delay its release to avoid clashing with Prabhas’ film.
Production Challenges
According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, the release date of Yash starrer Toxic was already under consideration for a change due to the large scale of the production and its extensive cast. The report indicated that the makers wanted to ensure a grand theatrical release that matched the effort and talent invested in the film. Additionally, coordinating the shooting schedules of all the actors, given the film’s big-budget nature, has led to delays beyond the original plans.
Stellar Star Cast of Toxic
The buzz around the star cast of Yash’s Toxic has been significant. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film boasts some of the biggest names in the industry. Kiara Advani has been cast as the female lead opposite Yash, with Huma Qureshi playing the antagonist. Additionally, the film features Shruti Haasan and Tara Sutaria in key roles. Initially, Kareena Kapoor was set to be part of the film but had to walk out due to scheduling conflicts. Nayanthara has since stepped in to take on her role.
