In a recent update, the makers of Toxic announced that the distribution rights for the film have been acquired by AA Films. The film will be distributed across North India and Nepal by the company, ensuring a wide release.

Here’s the official update:
Confirming the development, Anil Thadani said that Toxic is a cinematic world built with rare ambition and conviction, aiming to bridge Indian and international sensibilities. He stated that from the moment they engaged with the material, it was clear that it was a film designed for the big screen, featuring a scale of visuals, depth of storytelling, and technical finesse that Indian audiences across markets are eager for today.
Thadani added that Yash has consistently elevated the idea of a pan-India star and that with Toxic, he pushes that envelope even further by stepping into a space that feels both rooted and globally resonant. He also said that they are proud to release the film across North India and Nepal.
Earlier, the makers of Toxic had announced that the film’s distribution in the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets would be handled by Sri Venkateswara Creations, while Phars Film had acquired the overseas distribution rights for all Indian languages.
