‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’ Box Office Collection: Yash’s Film Crosses Rs 40 Crore Ahead of Release, Follows ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ in Advance Sales |

Yash once again focuses attention on the box office. After the great success of ‘KGF: Chapter 2’, the actor stayed away from the big screen for years, making his return with ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Adults’ one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. With the film set to hit theaters on August 26, its pre-order trend has already given fans a reason to celebrate.

Yash’s film enters the million ticket club

According to Sacnilk, ‘Toxic’ has crossed the 1 million (10 lakh) ticket mark in advance bookings on BookMyShow, making it the second Kannada film to reach that figure after Yash’s own ‘KGF: Chapter 2’. The previous film reportedly sold around 29 lakh tickets on the platform before its release.What makes ‘Toxic”s achievement more notable is that it is a stand-alone film and doesn’t have the benefit of an established franchise. Strong pre-sales indicate that Yash’s popularity alone is driving audiences towards theatres.
