Yash’s upcoming film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, has secured a staggering ₹63 crore advance deal in Tamil Nadu on a commission basis. Notably, this stands among the largest distribution agreements in the territory in recent years.
Clearly, the scale of this acquisition highlights soaring expectations. At the same time, it firmly positions Toxic as one of the most anticipated pan-Indian releases in the Tamil market.
Strategic Multi-Distributor Rollout Strengthens Statewide Reach
