Reunion
Reunion of Yash and AA Films
The acquisition by AA Films marks a reunion between Yash and the distribution banner. The two previously collaborated on KGF: Chapter 1 and KGF: Chapter 2, which set new box office records and redefined pan-India cinema. With Toxic, this partnership is expected to reach new heights. The film also stars Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, and Huma Qureshi, among others.

'Toxic' sets records with distribution deals
Toxic has already made history by becoming the first non-Telugu film to secure a landmark distribution deal with Sri Venkateswara Creations in the Andhra Pradesh-Telangana market. It also bagged a massive overseas deal with Phars Film for its Indian-language versions, one of the highest overseas deals ever secured for an Indian film. The addition of AA Films to its distribution team will further strengthen Toxic's reach across North India and Nepal.
