Yash starrer ‘Toxic’s runtime revealed? Fans slam it as way too short for epic scale - Reports

Yash's ‘Toxic’ teaser dropped days ago, sending fans into a frenzy as they picked apart every scene for clues and theories. A big one: Yash plays 2, or maybe 3, characters across generations. Two are clear with Raya and Ticket, but fans think a third is possible from Yash's different tattoos. Plus, with 5 heroines, all this detail makes people guess ‘Toxic’ will be a 2-part movie.

Yash's ‘Toxic’ runtime rumor

As per OTTplay, newer reports emerged early this week about ‘Toxic's length, clocking in at only 2 hours and 20 minutes. Fans judge it way too brief for the film's massive scale, taking it as proof of a two-part rollout. Counterviews insist it's past 3 hours, tailored for a Hollywood-style English release.

Yash's ‘Ramayana’ commitment

The problem with the two-film idea is that Yash gets busy soon with Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’, where he plays Ravana. His main scenes are in the second part, out in 2027. So, many online fans think ‘Toxic’ won't be two parts.

‘Toxic’ A-rated cast

Helmed by Geetu Mohandas, ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’ marks Yash’s debut A-rated venture, packed with intense graphic violence teased in the trailer and Raya’s intro video. Confirmed cast so far: Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, Tara Sutaria, Sudev Nair, and Akshay Oberoi. Kyle Paul and Darrel D’Silva are locked in, with Tovino Thomas rumored as a key villain.
