And it is happening all over again- Yash’s Toxic, after a change in it’s release date already in March this year, has got postponed.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has shared the big development on social media, posting a statement issued by Toxic’s makers. The note read, “There are films we make, and then there are films that remind us why we fell in love with cinema. Toxic has been one such journey. Presenting our film at CinemaCon and witnessing the overwhelming global response reaffirmed what we have always always believed that this film deserves to reach its fullest potential worldwide.”
Asserting that the delay has nothing to do with the shoot status, it continued, “Toxic is complete, and we are currently aligning global distribution and partnerships. In light of this, we have decided to recalibrate our release timeline. While we will not be releasing on June 4 as announced earlier, we will be releasing at a later, globally aligned date. Toxic will come to theatres across the world soon.”
