Yash’s Toxic trailer to release on his 40th birthday?

According to a report by Gulte, Toxic is expected to release its trailer on January 8, 2026, coinciding with the actor’s birthday. As the makers have been rolling out multiple character posters over the past few days, it is anticipated that a major update will arrive on Yash’s birthday.

However, this remains a report for now, as the makers are yet to officially confirm the trailer release date.

Earlier today, the makers of Toxic revealed Tara Sutaria’s character poster, making her casting official. The actress is set to play the role of Rebecca, with her first look presenting her in a femme fatale avatar, wielding a gun.


Earlier, Toxic had unveiled character posters of other actresses as well, including Kiara Advani as Nadia, Nayanthara as Ganga, and Huma Qureshi as Elizabeth.

All the character posters appear to tease a dark, edgy, and gothic crime world, introducing a new realm of gangsters.
