Mumbai: Fans of Yash are in for a treat as the makers of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups gear up to release the second teaser of the much-awaited period action thriller. The teaser will be released on February 20, 2026, at 9:35 AM, which will provide the viewers with the first longer look of the dirty world of Raya, the new on-screen avatar of Yash.

What We Know About the Toxic Teaser
This was announced through the official social media accounts of the film.
