The teaser opens with a voice saying, “This war will be different.” It then shifts to visuals of a Royal Circus taking place, and also close-ups of Yash. The voiceover says, “You can’t go against the world and survive. Give up, Raya.”

It shows glimpses of high-octane action sequences and merciless killings. Raya says, “It’s over when I say it’s over. Till then, have some manners.”

Towards the end of the video, we see shots of Yash killing someone with a chainsaw, and it concludes with Raya saying, "I am home Daddy."

Toxic teaser was released in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. Sharing the teaser, the makers wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "It’s Gonna Get Crazyyyy !!!"

According to the film’s synopsis, Toxic is set in Goa between the 1940s and the 1970s. "It is a savage action-thriller saga that plunges into the rot festering beneath paradise. In this coastal land of fading colonial shadows and rising crime syndicates, a man forges his empire through blood, fear, and betrayal. Power is not granted, it is seized, and it always demands repayment. As smuggling routes become battlegrounds and loyalties unravel into suspicion, paranoia turns into a means of survival. In the end, the only force more powerful than the consequences of his choices is the abyss within him."

Produced by Venkat K Narayana and Yash under their banners KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic will clash with Dhurandhar 2. It is written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas. The film has been shot simultaneously in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in multiple languages to maximise its global reach.

Kiara Advani as Nadia, Huma Qureshi as Elizabeth, Nayanthara as Ganga, Tara Sutaria as Rebecca and Rukmini Vasanth as Melissa will star as the female leads.

Toxic also stars Akshay Oberoi in a key role.
