Toxic Shatters Records Pre-Release with Global Power Plays
Toxic is already a juggernaut, clinching the first-ever ₹120 Cr AP-TG deal for a non-Telugu flick via Dil Raju's SVC—a game-changer rippling through Indian cinema. Now, it escalates internationally.
Phars Film, a top overseas distributor, snapped up Toxic in a landmark ₹105 Cr advance (commission basis)—among the fattest overseas buys for any Indian movie. This signals sky-high faith in the Indian-language cuts (Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam), excluding English, proving massive standalone pull abroad. No teaser needed—buzz for Rocking Star Yash drives the frenzy.
Building on KGF: Chapter 2's global domination (top GCC earner, stellar abroad hauls), Toxic eyes history with the broadest Indian film rollout ever—worldwide sans Nepal, Japan, China.
Ahmad Golchin, CEO & Founder, Phars Films:
“Toxic transcends borders with universal resonance. We're thrilled to unleash its raw intensity and depth globally—a huge step for Phars Film.”
Venkat K Narayana, KVN Productions:
“Crafted for worldwide appeal, Toxic pairs perfectly with Phars Films' global muscle. Their savvy will launch it with blockbuster force, redefining Indian cinema abroad.”
Post-Telugu mega-deal and this ₹105 Cr coup, Toxic—penned by Yash and Geetu Mohandas, directed by Geetu Mohandas (Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups)—shot natively in Kannada/English, dubbed wide. A visual spectacle from Rajeev Ravi (cinema), Ravi Basrur (score), Ujwal Kulkarni (edit), TP Abid (design). Epic action by JJ Perry (John Wick), Anbariv, Kecha Khamphakdee.
From KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations (Venkat K. Narayana, Yash), it storms theaters March 19, 2026—aligning Eid, Ugadi, Gudi Padwa for epic cross-cultural clash.
