The anticipation surrounding Rocking Star Yash’s massive multi-lingual venture, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, has hit a fever pitch. Giving fans a major taste of what’s to come, the makers have officially dropped the film’s first single, “Tabaahi.”
Billed as a high-intensity romantic ballad, the track serves as an introductory glimpse into the electric dynamics of the film’s lead characters, played by Yash and Bollywood star Kiara Advani.
Composed and sung by the soulful powerhouse Vishal Mishra, “Tabaahi” translates to “destruction” or “devastation”—a title that perfectly matches the dark, explosive, and moody aesthetics teased by director Geetu Mohandas so far. The track masterfully pairs heavy acoustic elements, like surging guitars and pounding drums, with Mishra’s signature raw, emotional vocals.
The Hindi version features evocative lyrics by Raj Shekhar, capturing a passionate love story powerful enough to shake up criminal systems and leave chaotic aftermaths in its wake.
Toxic marks Yash’s monumental return to the silver screen, stepping into a gritty gangster landscape following his legendary run in the K.G.F. franchise.
The production of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups brings together an ambitious creative force, with Rocking Star Yash leading both as the star and co-writer alongside director Geetu Mohandas. The film’s narrative vision is brought to life by producers KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations.
Beyond the lead pairing of Yash and Kiara Advani, the movie boasts an expansive ensemble cast that includes heavyweights such as Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth. The film’s technical prowess is anchored by the cinematography of Rajeev Ravi and a pulse-pounding background score composed by Ravi Basrur, all set for a global theatrical release on August 26, 2026.
