In an exciting update for fans of Kannada superstar Yash, his upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is now poised to enjoy a solo release on March 19, 2026. Originally, Toxic was set to clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, which was scheduled for March 20, 2026. However, recent reports indicate that Love & War may be postponed, clearing the way for Toxic to dominate the Eid and Ugadi weekend.
According to reports, Love & War is running behind its planned schedule. The film was announced in January 2024 and was expected to hit theaters around Eid 2026. However, the production is taking longer than expected, and it’s now unlikely to be ready by March 2026.
On the other hand, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, directed by Geetu Mohandas, is one of the most awaited films from the Kannada film industry. Starring Yash, who became a household name after KGF: Chapter 2, Toxic also features Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, and others.
Industry experts and fans believe avoiding this clash is good news. Both films are big projects with strong star power, and a head-to-head battle could have hurt their box office collections. Now, with Love & War likely moving to a later date, both movies have a better chance to shine on their own.
What’s Next?
There’s no official confirmation yet that Love & War will change its date, but the rumors are strong. If it moves, it could release later in 2026, maybe during another holiday like Diwali. Toxic seems set for March 19, 2026, ready to kick off the festive weekend.
For now, fans of Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, and Yash can relax, knowing both films might not compete. This is great news for Bollywood, as it means two amazing movies can reach their audiences without a fight. Keep an eye out for updates from the filmmakers.
