Reported at roughly ₹800 crore, Toxic is on track to be one of the most expensive Indian films ever produced.
Toxic was conceptualised, written and shot simultaneously in Kannada and English — a first at this scale for Indian cinema — which adds significant production complexity, on top of large-scale period sets and an ensemble of major stars.
Coming off Yash's KGF: Chapter 2, one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever, Toxic carries heavy box-office expectations for its August 26, 2026 worldwide release.
Budget figures for large Indian productions are rarely confirmed officially and vary by source, typically ranging from ₹600–800 crore in current reports.
