AP Liquor Case: లిక్కర్ కేసులో కీలక పరిణామం.. ముగ్గురికి బెయిల్..

Dhurandhar created a massive storm at the box office with its record-breaking collections, and the spotlight has now shifted to Dhurandhar 2, which is scheduled for a grand release on March 19, 2026, across an enormous number of theatres. The sequel’s hype is so intense that several films planned around the same date have already moved away, wary of facing the juggernaut.

Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit, originally slated for March 19, has been postponed to April, while Ram Charan’s Peddi, which was expected to arrive on March 27, has also been delayed as the makers are keen on securing a solo release window. This reshuffle has left Yash’s Toxic as the only major contender still eyeing the March 19, 2026 slot.

Toxic is also preparing for release on the same date, and its teaser had earlier caught attention with its bold tone and stylish presentation. However, following that initial buzz, the team has maintained near silence, with little to no promotional activity in recent weeks.

With Dhurandhar 2 carrying massive pre-release hype, Toxic now faces the urgent need to step up its promotional campaign. For a Pan-India project, sustained buzz and strong word of mouth are critical, and staying out of the spotlight could prove risky. If the team fails to re-enter the conversation soon, Dhurandhar 2 could completely dominate the box-office landscape. In fact, even average audience feedback might be enough for the sequel to post explosive numbers.

At this stage, the ball is firmly in Toxic’s court. How Yash and his team respond in the coming days will determine whether the film can hold its ground against one of the most anticipated releases of 2026.
