Yash is gearing up for his highly anticipated big-screen comeback with "Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups," and the film is already drawing attention for its massive release plans. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film is reportedly eyeing a worldwide rollout across nearly 12,000 screens, potentially making it a massive release, ever for an Indian film.
Although the makers are yet to confirm the final screen count, the projected global release across so many screens reflects the film’s big theatrical scale. The advanced bookings for the movie are set to open on August 21. The five-day pre-release booking window is likely to generate more buzz before the film hits theaters. Audiences are also excited as this marks Yash’s first theatrical release since “KFG: Chapter 2.” The actor also has “Ramayana: Part 1” planned for release this year. He is playing the role of Ravana in the epic.
