However, fresh rumours suggest that Toxic may not arrive as planned.

Distributors and theatre owners were initially excited about the Eid face off. Insiders now claim that Toxic could be postponed by nearly a month. The delay is reportedly due to pending portions of filming.

There is also talk that Yash's big budget action drama wants to avoid competition. Sources suggest the film may steer clear of Ranveer's spy thriller. Another claim says the Rocking Star stepped in due to dissatisfaction with the current direction.

Trade experts feel a postponement could benefit both films. They say recent box office trends show that clashes hurt collections. Many online users are also advising solo releases for better recovery.

At present, Dhurandhar 2 is generating more hype. However, critics feel the situation could change quickly. If Toxic goes aggressive with promotions, it could pull massive crowds, especially after Yash's growing Hindi market fan base.

Some social media users believe theatres can manage even with one release. They point to similar runtimes for Toxic and the sequel. This could make scheduling easier if only one film arrives.

Others are supporting the clash openly. They argue that audiences who dislike graphic violence may prefer Toxic. If ticket prices rise and shows run housefull, both films could still benefit.

For now, everything depends on an official response from the Toxic makers. Until then, the industry will continue to speculate. The final verdict remains awaited.
