The wait for Yash’s comeback film just got a little sweeter. The makers of the highly anticipated pan-Indian film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups have released the first song, titled ‘Tabaahi’, featuring the film’s lead pair, Yash and Kiara Advani.
The song, sung and composed by Vishal Mishra, was released as an audio track accompanied by a striking new poster of the two actors. The makers have announced that the full video version will be out soon.
A Glimpse Into the World of ‘Toxic’
‘Tabaahi’ (which translates to ‘destruction’) is described as a high-intensity romantic track that bursts with the sounds of guitar and drums. It aligns perfectly with the dark and explosive tone set by the film’s previous promotional materials.
The song has been released in five languages, with the lyrics for the Kannada version penned by Yogaraj.
