Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups were set for a major box office clash on March 19. However, the clash has now been averted, since the makers of the Yash starrer have postponed its release.
On Wednesday, the team behind Toxic issued an official statement announcing a change to the release plans. They attributed the delay to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The team said that they envisioned the film for a global audience. The tensions in the Middle East have created a situation that could affect the film’s global reach.
The statement read, “Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups is a film we conceptualised with the vision to create cinema for a global audience. Filmed in Kannada and English, it is built with the conviction to connect with viewers both at home and across the world. After years of dedicated labour, we were excited to share our film with you all on the 19th of March. However, the current uncertainty, especially in the Middle East, has created a situation that impacts our goal to reach and connect with the widest possible audience.”
