Rumours of a box office clash between Yash’s upcoming film Toxic and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 have been circulating after Toxic moved its release date from March 19 to June. However, a new report suggests that the delay has nothing to do with avoiding competition between the two films.
According to sources quoted in the report, Yash — who not only stars in Toxic but is also co-producing the project — has great respect for the Dhurandhar franchise. The insider claimed that the KGF star genuinely enjoyed the first installment and is excited to watch the sequel.
“Yash loved Dhurandhar and is looking forward to Part 2. All the rivalry, anxiety and competitiveness are created by outsiders desirous of juicing the so-called competition between the two films,” the source said.
The report further states that Yash has no fear of competition from Dhurandhar 2. Instead, the actor is said to be supportive of the franchise and curious to see how the story continues in the next installment.
Meanwhile, Toxic, directed by Geetu Mohandas, remains one of the most anticipated pan-India films. The project’s release shift is reportedly linked to post-production work rather than any box office rivalry.
