Yash's Toxic Tease Arriving Tomorrow: Everything You Need to Know About the Rocking Star's Stylized Actioner

The wait is finally ending for millions of fans across the globe. Rocking Star Yash is all set to break his long hiatus after the record-shattering KGF: Chapter 2. As confirmed by top trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the first official Tease of his next venture, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, is scheduled to drop tomorrow, January 8, 2026, at 10:10 AM. The makers have clarified that this isn't just a trailer or a teaser, but a specialized Tease designed to set the mood for what is being called Yash's most experimental role to date. The hype surrounding Toxic is unprecedented, primarily because it marks Yash's first film in nearly four years. Since KGF 2 became the Highest Grossing Indian Film of the Year (HGOTY) in 2022, the actor has been extremely selective, spending years on the pre-production and filming of Toxic. The tagline A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups has sparked intense curiosity, suggesting a dark, gritty, and perhaps hallucinogenic action-drama that moves away from the traditional masala tropes, yet retains the larger than life aura associated with the Rocking Star. Toxic is helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Geetu Mohandas, celebrated for her raw and internationally recognized storytelling in films like Moothon. This unique collaboration between a visionary director and a mass superstar like Yash is expected to deliver a high-concept cinematic experience unlike anything seen before. Produced as a joint venture between KVN Productions and Yash's own banner, Monster Mind Creations, the film is being mounted on a gargantuan budget with top-tier international technicians overseeing its high-octane action sequences and VFX. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The makers have officially revealed character posters introducing the film's powerful female lineup. South Lady Superstar Nayanthara makes a lethal entry as Ganga (reportedly playing a pivotal role as Yash's sister), while Kiara Advani is introduced as Nadia, set to play the female lead. The cast also features Tara Sutaria as the fierce Rebecca, Huma Qureshi as the primary antagonist Elizabeth, and Rukmini Vasanth as the poised Mellisa. This multi-industry lineup, which also includes Akshay Oberoi and Sudev Nair, confirms Toxic as a truly global project with high-profile talent from across Indian cinema. Revealing the ONE they warned you about.10:10 AM | 08-01-2026 #ToxicTheMovie#TOXIC #TOXIConMarch19th@TheNameIsYash#Nayanthara@humasqureshi @advani_kiara @rukminitweets #TaraSutaria #GeetuMohandas @RaviBasrur #RajeevRavi #UjwalKulkarni #TPAbid #MohanBKere… pic.twitter.com/7KsfjVoh7X— KVN Productions (@KvnProductions) January 7, 2026 The release date on the poster is officially locked for March 19, 2026. This sets the stage for what trade analysts are calling the Battle of the Century. Yash's Toxic will head into a direct collision with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 (Dhurandhar: Revenge). With Dhurandhar currently standing as one of the highest-grossing original Hindi films (chasing Pushpa 2's record), the sequel carries massive momentum. However, Yash's track record with KGF 2 (₹859.7 Cr India Net) makes Toxic the biggest possible threat to any Bollywood blockbuster. This two-way clash is expected to lead to a severe screen-sharing crunch, with both films eyeing over 5,000+ screens in India alone. Tomorrow's Tease is expected to shatter digital records on YouTube within minutes of its release, providing a first look at Yash's new avatar and the stylized world Geetu Mohandas has created.

Dhurandhar enters the Rs 300 Crore Club in style; Emerges as the highest earner of 2025 at the 10 day mark beating Chhaava and Saiyaara

Dhurandhar has officially stormed past the triple-century mark, becoming the third film of 2025 to achieve this milestone while setting a new benchmark for 10-day collections.The box office momentum for Dhurandhar shows no signs of slowing down. The action-entertainer has officially crossed the coveted Rs 300 crore milestone at the Indian box office. In a massive feat, the film achieved this figure on its tenth day of release. Dhurandhar currently stands at a staggering Rs 351.75 crore (India Net) after 10 days. This makes it the fastest pacer of the year so far, surpassing the trend set by previous 2025 blockbusters. 2025 has proven to be a lucrative year for the industry with three films already crossing the Rs 300 crore barrier. However, the speed at which Dhurandhar has achieved this feat sets it apart. While Chhaava also managed to storm into the coveted club by its tenth day, Saiyaara took a steadier route, hitting the milestone on its 17th day. In terms of sheer momentum, Dhurandhar has taken a decisive lead, recording the highest volume of collections within the first ten days compared to its predecessors.While all three films have successfully cemented their place in the prestigious club, the speed at which they achieved the milestone highlights the difference in their initial momentum. Here is a look at how many days each blockbuster took to breach the ₹ 300 crore mark at the Indian Box Office: Dhurandhar:Day 10( ₹ 351.75 Cr) Chhaava:Day 10 (₹ 326.75 Cr) Saiyaara:Day 17 (₹ 302.1 Cr) Given the glowing word of mouth and the rock-solid daily momentum, Dhurandhar is on smooth sailing to emerge as the biggest grosser of the year. The film is currently trending significantly better than the year's previous giants, and with no signs of slowing down, it is poised to comfortably surpass the lifetime benchmarks set by Chhaava and Saiyaara. In fact, Dhurandhar has already crossed the entire lifetime domestic net collection of Saiyaara in just ten days, signaling that a historic run is currently unfolding. The primary target now is the year's biggest hit, Chhaava. The historical drama set a massive precedent with an All-Time Blockbuster verdict, wrapping up its theatrical run with an India Net collection of Rs 601.54 crore and a domestic gross of Rs 716.91 crore. While the film accumulated a humongous Rs 807.91 crore worldwide—aided by Rs 91 crore from overseas—Dhurandhar's current pace suggests it will challenge these numbers much sooner than expected. Meanwhile, Saiyaara remains a case study for profitability. Made on a modest budget of Rs 45 crore, it became an All-Time Blockbuster with a lifetime India Net of Rs 329.2 crore—a figure Dhurandhar has already demolished. While Saiyaara put up a stiff fight overseas with Rs 171.5 crore to reach a worldwide gross of Rs 569.75 crore, Dhurandhar is rewriting the domestic records with ease. With the Rs 350 crore mark already dusted, the trade is now confident that the film will not just breach the Rs 600 crore club established by Chhaava, but potentially set a new all-time record for the industry.

Mahavatar Narsimha Vs Hari Hara Veera Mallu First Monday Box Office: Animated Blockbuster Stuns Pawan Kalyan-starrer With 3x More Collection

Hyderabad, July 29 - In the shocking turn of events, Kaleem Productions and Hombale Films' low-budget animated epic action drama Mahavatar Narsimha has stunned superstar Pawan Kalyan-fronted period action drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu at the domestic box office on their respective first Mondays. ## Released on July 25, the first chapter in the ambitious Mahavatar Cinematic Universe is rewriting the rules, registering a Monday collection (Day 4) of approximately 7.25 crore gross domestically, which is more than triple the 2.25 crore gross earned by Hari Hara Veera Mallu on its first Monday (Day 5). ## Even though there is no comparison between the two movies, as the scale and budget of Hari Hara Veera Mallu are much higher than the animated film, the former had a shocking collapse after an underwhelming opening weekend. This once again proved the power of word of mouth and the unpredictable, harsh reality of the box office. ## Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and A. M. Jyothi Krishna, Hari Hara Veera Mallu was envisioned as a grand period saga starring one of Telugu cinema’s biggest superstars. However, the film's inability to maintain momentum beyond the opening day highlights the fickle nature of box office performance and the increasing influence of word of mouth. In 5 days so far, the movie has grossed approximately 91 crores, after taking the opening of 55 crores domestically.## In stark contrast, Mahavatar Narsimha is turning out to be a sleeper success story. After opening at 2.10 crore gross, the film saw explosive weekend growth, collecting 19 crore in three days. The rock-solid Monday performance has taken its total to 26.25 crore gross in just four days. With strong legs and surging demand, the film is racing towards the 50 crore milestone — an incredible feat for an animated feature in India. ## Stay tuned...

The Bloodline Gets A New Enforcer As Tama Tonga Makes Shocking Debut On SmackDown

The fallout from WrestleMania 40 continued to shake up SmackDown this week, with a major change to the landscape of The Bloodline.## Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and Paul Heyman kicked off the night with an in-ring segment addressing their loss and the subsequent eviction from their locker room by the new champion, Cody Rhodes. Heyman attempted to maintain order, reminding Sikoa that "wins and losses matter" and regaining championship gold was the key to reclaiming their space.## However, tensions flared as Sikoa questioned the consequences for losing, particularly after Jimmy Uso's defeat at the hands of Jey Uso at WrestleMania. Suddenly, a hooded figure attacked Jimmy Uso, and the identity was soon revealed to be Tama Tonga, son of Haku and a former NJPW star.## This shocking debut was followed by a vicious assault on Jimmy Uso by both Sikoa and Tonga, leaving him laid out despite Heyman's protests against the violence. Notably, Tonga, while not an Anoa'i family member by blood, has been acknowledged as honorary family by The Rock and Roman Reigns in the past.## The segment concluded with Sikoa asserting his dominance within the group. He smacked Heyman's phone out of his hand and stomped on it, sending a clear message that decision-making within The Bloodline may have shifted.## The future of The Bloodline and its impact on SmackDown remain to be seen, but one thing is certain: the WWE Universe can expect fireworks in the weeks to come. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

The Rock Rattles PG Era: Wrestlers Get Edgier After Dwayne Johnson's Mic Drop

The Rock's recent stint on WWE has caused a shift in on-screen language policies, particularly for top wrestlers.## Dave Meltzer, wrestling journalist, reports in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the previously enforced PG-rated language restrictions seem to be loosening up. This change appears to be at least partly due to The Rock's freedom to speak his mind. ## Meltzer notes, "Rock says what he wants when he wants," and this leniency seems to be extending to other top stars. Examples include Paul Heyman's (bleeped-out) profanity during his Hall of Fame speech and Cody Rhodes and C.M. Punk using language that wouldn't have been tolerated just a few months ago.## Interestingly, this coincides with a reported decline in viewership among older demographics and a rise in younger viewers. This suggests a potential return to the "Attitude Era" style of programming, known for its edgier content, might be a strategic move to capture a younger audience.## However, WWE seems to be taking a cautious approach. While there's a push for edgier content, there's also a concern about alienating sponsors with excessive profanity. It appears they're aiming for a balance.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Report: There Is No Planned Date For The Rock To Return For A Match

The Rock's WWE departure is confirmed, following his "go away for a little while" comment on the Raw after WrestleMania. He did assure fans he'd return, specifically for a showdown with Cody Rhodes.## Earlier reports suggested a potential WrestleMania 41 clash (in 2025) between The Rock and Rhodes. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter now sheds more light on The Rock's plans.## Meltzer indicates this is a long-term absence, with no confirmed return date for a match, though WrestleMania next year is a possibility. The Rock initially envisioned a match with Roman Reigns, but due to recent events, a singles match with Rhodes is considered the bigger draw.## Current plans suggest The Rock might work a match later in 2024, but it's not guaranteed. His ideal scenario is a main event clash with Rhodes at next year's WrestleMania, and The Rock often gets what he wants. This could translate to a one-year title reign for Rhodes, though not a certainty as of yet.## Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's busy film schedule likely factors into his WWE hiatus. He has two movies in post-production and a third slated for 2025 release. These include the action-comedy "Red One" (with Chris Evans) in November 2024, "Moana 2" (reprising his role as Maui) also in November 2024, and a live-action "Moana" movie in 2025. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
