Zee Music Company has acquired the music rights for Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups in a major deal with producer KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. The agreement ranks among the label’s largest recent acquisitions and is positioned as the beginning of a longer-term partnership between the companies.
Headlined by Yash, Toxic is being developed as a large-scale multilingual release, with music playing a central role in its theatrical and digital rollout. Under the deal, Zee Music will distribute the soundtrack across Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, enabling a unified national release strategy.
The film features a multi-composer album led by Ravi Basrur, Vishal Mishra, and Tanishk Bagchi.
Vishal Mishra has composed four songs, while Tanishk Bagchi contributes one track co-composed with Arslan Nizami and Faheem Abdullah. Ravi Basrur has delivered one song along with the background score. The album aims to balance commercial appeal with narrative integration, in line with the film’s scale and positioning.
“Toxic, the film, represents the true spirit of pan-India cinema. A story, a scale, and a vision that transcend language and regional boundaries,” said Sujal Parekh, CBO, Zee Music Company. “We are proud to bring its entire soundtrack across Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam under one unified platform, ensuring a seamless and powerful nationwide musical rollout. The album has been crafted to connect emotionally across markets while retaining a contemporary, mass appeal that resonates strongly in today’s streaming-driven ecosystem. With its scale, intensity, and cross-cultural soundscape, the music of Toxic is poised to become a unifying anthem for audiences across India.”
Speaking about this collaboration, Venkat K. Narayana, Chairman of KVN Productions, said: “Toxic demands a soundscape that’s bold, disruptive, and truly unforgettable. At KVN, we’ve always believed that music isn’t just an accompaniment to cinema, it’s the pulse of it. And in Zee Music, we’ve found a partner who not only understands that vision but matches it with the same passion and scale. This collaboration is the start of a long-term relationship between KVN and Zee, built on shared ambition and a collective hunger to push cinematic music into uncharted territories. Together, we want to redefine how music travels with cinema, not just as a soundtrack, but as an experience that lives far beyond the screen.”
The film’s teaser has generated strong early engagement online, prompting detailed fan analysis and discussion around Yash’s character, “Ticket”. The promotional campaign is expected to roll out in phases, gradually introducing the film’s characters and story world.
The ensemble cast includes Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria. Written and directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic has been shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and other languages. The film is produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations.
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is scheduled for theatrical release on March 19, 2026.
