The Wait is Over: Makers Drop the Official Music Video of Toxic’s ‘Tabaahi’
Monster Mind Creations, KVN Productions, and Zee Music Company bring the first music video from Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups to audiences after the song’s chart-topping audio success.
8th July, 2026 : The makers of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups have finally unveiled the much-anticipated official music video for Tabaahi, the film’s first song, which became an instant fan favourite following its audio release. Along with the film’s official music partner, Zee Music Company, the visual spectacle now brings audiences the immersive experience they have been eagerly awaiting, offering the first glimpse into one of Indian cinema’s most anticipated films.
Featuring Rocking Star Yash alongside Kiara Advani in a captivating new on-screen pairing, Tabaahi celebrates an unforgettable romance brought to life through their undeniable chemistry and emotionally resonant performances. As the world around them fades away, Tabaahi captures love in its rawest and purest form, intimate, unwavering, and all-consuming. Set against a grand cinematic canvas with breathtaking visuals, evocative storytelling, electrifying guitar arrangements, and a soaring orchestral score, the music video serves as a stirring introduction to the enigmatic and visually distinctive world of Toxic.
Building anticipation ahead of the launch, the makers treated fans to a playful social media exchange on 7th July. The official Toxic handle posted, “What do you call a forbidden love that only exists in stolen time?”, tagging Kiara Advani. Kiara responded with a single word — “Tabaahi.” Shortly after, Zee Music Company joined the conversation by quoting her reply with a simple, “Stay Tuned…”, setting the stage for the official music video premiere and sending fans into a frenzy ahead of the release.
Composed, sung by musician Vishal Mishra and written by Raj Shekhar in Hindi, Tabaahi has been released in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. The song has been adapted across languages by some of the finest lyricists in Indian cinema—Yogaraj Bhat (Kannada), Ramajogayya Sastry (Telugu), Vignesh Shivan (Tamil), and Rafeeq Ahammed (Malayalam)—reflecting the film’s truly pan-Indian creative collaboration. The multilingual launch reinforces Toxic’s vision of connecting with audiences across languages and geographies, with Zee Music Company leading the nationwide music rollout as the film’s official music partner. The film stars Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, and Huma Qureshi in a powerhouse ensemble cast.
Opening up about the song, Vishal Mishra Added, “Tabaahi isn’t a love song in the conventional sense, it’s love as wreckage, as surrender, as fire that doesn’t ask permission. Toxic demanded music that could hold that intensity: epic and intimate at once. Yash Bhai brings a rare conviction to the screen that I tried to match note for note. Tabaahi, for me, was about chasing that raw, unfiltered pulse of love, the kind that consumes before it comforts.”
Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas, and directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film is shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and other languages — reinforcing its global ambitions and expansive cinematic vision. Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic is scheduled to hit theatres on August,26 2026.
