Yash’s much-awaited Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is reportedly set to have different runtimes for its various language versions. According to a circulating update, the Tamil version will be significantly shorter than the Kannada and Hindi versions, giving audiences in different regions slightly different theatrical experiences.
The film, directed by Geetu Mohandas, is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on August 26, 2026. It stars Yash alongside Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth.
Toxic Tamil Version Runtime
As per the reported runtime breakdown, the Tamil version of Toxic will have a first half of 1 hour 46 minutes and a second half of 1 hour 15 minutes.
This puts the reported total runtime of the Tamil version at approximately 3 hours and 1 minute.
Tamil Version
First Half: 1 Hour 46 Mins
Second Half: 1 Hour 15 Mins
Total: 3 Hours 1 Min
Kannada And Hindi Versions
The Kannada and Hindi versions, meanwhile, are reportedly longer. Both versions are said to have a first half of 1 hour 46 minutes, followed by a second half of 1 hour 31 minutes.
Kannada Version
First Half: 1 Hour 46 Mins
Second Half: 1 Hour 31 Mins
Total: 3 Hours 17 Mins
Hindi Version
First Half: 1 Hour 46 Mins
Second Half: 1 Hour 31 Mins
Total: 3 Hours 17 Mins
The reported differences suggest that the makers may have made language-specific edits or cuts for certain versions. However, the runtime figures circulating on social media should be treated as reported information until the respective versions are officially confirmed by the exhibitors or makers.
Toxic Has A Long Runtime
The reported runtimes are broadly in line with earlier information about the film's lengthy theatrical presentation. Cinema Express previously reported that Toxic runs for around 3 hours and 14 minutes, while BookMyShow currently lists the film at approximately 3 hours 14 minutes.
The differences between versions could therefore be the result of language-specific edits, certification changes or final runtime adjustments.
Yash Fans Await Toxic Release
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is one of the most anticipated Indian releases of 2026, marking Yash's return to theatres after the blockbuster success of KGF: Chapter 2. The film has generated substantial pre-release buzz, with advance bookings also showing strong audience interest.
With the film releasing across multiple languages, the reported runtime variations are likely to become another talking point among fans as they prepare for the first-day shows.
