Four individuals, including a student, were injured when a sound box system collapsed during the pre-release event for actor Yash's film 'Toxic' at Malla Reddy University in Hyderabad.

Yash has confirmed that Toxic will no longer release on June 4, with the team opting to recalibrate its timeline for a globally-coordinated rollout, even as anticipation for the film continues to grow.
Toxic has amassed a staggering Rs 41.75 crore in advance sales in India alone.
