Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups Release Postponed Due to Ongoing US-Iran War Yash fans will have to wait longer to watch Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups as the makers have decided to postpone the film due to the ongoing US-Iran war. The announcement comes with a new release date set for June 4. According to a statement from the team, "Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups is a film we conceptualized with the vision to create cinema for a global audience. Filmed in Kannada and English, it is built with the conviction to connect with viewers both at home and across the world." The decision was made to reschedule the release "in the interest of our partners and our audience." The film's synopsis has been subject to speculation after a Reddit user shared a screengrab from Letterboxd.
