The excitement around Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups continues to surge. Now, in a major industry development, Zee Music Company has officially acquired the music rights for the highly anticipated film starring Yash.
Importantly, this marks one of the label’s biggest acquisitions in recent years. At the same time, it strengthens the film’s ambitious pan-India and global rollout strategy.
Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic is steadily shaping up to be one of 2026’s biggest cinematic events.
A Power-Packed Multi-Composer Soundtrack
Notably, the makers have curated a dynamic and diverse album. The soundtrack brings together some of the biggest names in the industry:
- Ravi Basrur – One song along with the background score
- Vishal Mishra – Four songs
- Tanishk Bagchi – One track co-composed with Arslan Nizami and Faheem Abdullah
Together, these composers blend emotion, mass appeal, and cinematic scale. Moreover, each track is designed to extend the film’s narrative and deepen its immersive universe. As a result, industry insiders expect the album to deliver genre-defining hits across multiple markets.
A Unified Pan-India Music Strategy
Meanwhile, Sujal Parekh, CBO of Zee Music Company, emphasized that Toxic reflects the true spirit of pan-India cinema. According to him, the soundtrack will release under one unified platform across Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.
Therefore, the strategy is both clear and calculated. The goal is to combine emotional depth with contemporary, streaming-friendly appeal. With its cross-cultural soundscape and large-scale intensity, the music aims to become a unifying anthem across India.
KVN Productions on the Long-Term Vision
At the same time, Venkat K. Narayana, Chairman of KVN Productions, described the collaboration as the beginning of a long-term creative partnership.
He explained that Toxic demands a bold and disruptive soundscape. More importantly, he reiterated that music is not merely an addition to cinema — it is its pulse. Consequently, this partnership signals a shared ambition to redefine how music travels with film, turning it into an experience that lives far beyond the screen.
Teaser Sparks Massive Online Frenzy
In addition to the music deal, the film’s teaser has taken the internet by storm. Within just 24 hours, it clocked massive viewership and triggered widespread online discussion.
Fans dissected every frame. Furthermore, the reveal of Yash’s character, “Ticket,” fueled intense fan theories about the film’s larger narrative universe.
Additionally, the teaser heightened anticipation around the ensemble cast featuring Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria.
A Global Cinematic Vision for 2026
Finally, the film’s scale reflects its global ambition. Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas, and directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic has been shot in Kannada and English. Dubbed versions will also release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and other languages.
The film is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on March 19, 2026.
With Zee Music backing its soundtrack and a carefully structured promotional rollout underway, Toxic is positioning itself as one of the most ambitious Indian film releases of 2026.
