Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is all set to release its English version with a shorter cut. The shorter English version of Toxic will arrive in Indian theatres on September 4.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic was filmed in both Kannada and English and was later dubbed into Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. The film was reportedly made on a budget of around Rs 500 crore.
The film was released in theatres on August 26 in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.
In an official post on Thursday, the makers announced that Toxic's English version release date in India. The shorter version will be screened only at select theatres across India.
“Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, in English - one of the languages the film was written and shot in. A shorter cut from the Indian language version. In cinemas from September 4, 2026,” read the announcement.
Toxic English Version Runtime
Audiences watching the English version will reportedly see a significantly shorter film compared with the original Kannada edition. According to the CBFC website, the English version has a runtime of 2 hours and 57 minutes. The English version was certified on September 1. It has also been certified A.
Meanwhile, the original Kannada version was certified on August 13 with a runtime of 194.12 minutes or approximately 3 hours and 14 minutes. This means the English version is more than 17 minutes shorter.
