Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is set to hit cinemas with revised ticket rates approved in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The permissions cover the film's opening phase and include provisions for an early-morning screening in Andhra Pradesh.
Telangana Approves Ticket Price Hike
The Telangana government has allowed theatres to increase Toxic ticket prices by Rs 50 at single screens and Rs 100 at multiplexes. The revised rates will remain applicable from August 26 to September 4, Track Tollywood reported, citing the official order.
