Yash starrer ‘Toxic’ cleared by CBFC with no cuts
Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria are set to entertain you with their upcoming project ‘Toxic’. Before it hits the theatres, the movie is now officially cleared by CBFC.
Here is what we know.
`Toxic` has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with no cuts and just two small modifications. For the unversed, `Toxic` is a violent revenge saga and is being said to be as one of the boldest and most violent Indian films of all time. The film is shot in Kannada and English, and has a runtime of 3 hours 12 minutes, according to the CBFC certificate. The CBFC has asked the makers to mute and replace two words and phrases in the Kannada version, with similar changes in the English subtitles. The statutory anti-smoking and anti-drinking warning is also to be added. But beyond that, the CBFC has not demanded any cuts in the film. It has been cleared with an ‘A’-rating, though. For all those who do not know this but the UK censors have demanded several cuts to Toxic for its release there, more than for Dhurandhar, claiming that `Toxic` is somewhat equally violent to Ranveer Singh starrer `Dhurandhar`.
Prior to the CBFC rating, the film’s lead actor and co-writer, Yash, had made it clear that the film has a very adult theme. Appearing on Aap Ki Adalat, the superstar had said, “Children shouldn`t watch this film. They should stay at home. It hasn`t been made for children, and that`s very clear. Adults know what is right and wrong. They can choose what they want to see, what they want to learn from the film, and what they don`t want to do in life. But the film is very genuine and has a deep story.”
About `Toxic`
Set in a bygone era, this gripping tale unfolds in the coastal paradise of Goa, where a powerful drug cartel pulls the strings behind a facade of sun-soaked beaches and vibrant culture. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, `Toxic` features a prominent ensemble cast, including Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth and Tara Sutaria alongside Yash.
When is `Toxic` releasing?
The film is set to arrive in theatres on August 26, 2026.
