Toxic: In some cases, it may take such a long time to wait for a particular movie that its name becomes a household slogan even before the release of the film.
Currently, a similar situation prevails in South Indian movies. It was announced that Rocking Star Yash is making his comeback to the big screens, and since then, fans’ hearts have been beating eagerly to watch a new film by Yash since his last release, ‘KGF’.
Now, his next film ‘Toxic’ has even started breaking records prior to its release. Based on recent reports, the film ‘Toxic’, starring the talented actor Yash, has reportedly managed a massive deal in terms of its distribution and sale, worth around ₹120 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
What’s more interesting in this context is that this deal has reportedly been done pre-release, which itself says a lot about the confidence people have in this film.
Yash’s Biggest Comeback After KGF
If you love movies, you will undoubtedly agree that Yash is a brand as well as an actor. He gained a distinctive national identity because of the popular franchise “KGF.” His fan base spread from North India to the South. It’s only reasonable to have high hopes for his upcoming movie.
People are hopeful that “Toxic” will show Yash in a totally different role. The main driver of this arrangement is thought to be the audience’s excitement for Yash’s long-awaited big-screen comeback.
Why is ‘Toxic’ considered a special film?
‘Toxic’ is in the news not only because it stars Yash but also because the film is being directed by Geetu Mohandas. Geetu Mohandas is known for her unique vision and powerful storytelling. She has always chosen cinemas which focused on depth rather than superficiality.
‘Toxic’ is said to be a film about a dark and intense story in which Yash’s character will be fully different from what he has played so far, according to reports. That’s perhaps a reason why the trade experts are also quite positive about the film.
What Does the ₹120 Crore Deal Signify?
Let’s take a more straightforward look at this ₹120 crore agreement. Distributors have total faith in the movie because its rights were sold for such a high price in big areas like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Usually, this kind of big deal only occurs when a movie is anticipated to have an incredible box office debut.
In the Telugu states as well, Yash has a sizable fan base. Following ‘KGF’, the audience there was clearly infatuated with Yash. There’s a good chance that ‘Toxic’ will bring this trend back.
Yash’s Strong Hold in the Telugu Market
If we talk about the Telugu market in South India, the influence of star power is pretty great. Yash is no longer a Kannada cinema sensation alone; he has become a pan-India star. That’s why such a big deal was struck for ‘Toxic’ in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Distributors are confident that the film will take a spectacular opening, and the theatres will be houseful during the weekend. This confidence is being termed as the real driving force behind this deal.
Creating Buzz Even Before Release
Every major project aspires to create the kind of hype that “Toxic,” which is scheduled for release next month, has already produced. On social media, people are often talking about Yash’s appearance, the movie’s title, and its topic. Every little update is closely watched by fans.
Though the ₹120 crore agreement before the release has made it evident that the picture is primed to create a big impression at the box office, it would be safe to assume that the actual earnings of “Toxic” will start after its release.
Can ‘Toxic’ Repeat the History of KGF?
But there remains only one question in everyone’s mind: Can ‘Toxic’ repeat the magic created by ‘KGF’? It is believed that, though both movies are of different genres and storylines, Yash’s involvement is sufficient to attract people to watch the film if it is good in terms of content and other aspects.
