During the episode, Samay brought up the film and took a swipe at its box office performance. He joked that most guests who appear on his show end up having a film flop, but Huma was the first person to arrive on the show after her movie had already failed at the box office.

Huma was quick to fire back, saying, "Dude, I just acted in a movie named Toxic, you're literally toxic in life." Samay responded with, "But at least people watch me."




The exchange continued as Huma pointed out that hate-watching has also become a major metric these days, suggesting that this could explain the popularity of India's Got Latent. Samay laughed and said the same could be true for Toxic.

OTT details of movie Toxic

Meanwhile, talking about the film Toxic, the film was widely expected to arrive on OTT in the last week of September, with ZEE5 reportedly set to stream the film. However, the platform's October lineup does not include Toxic, which means fans will have to wait longer for its digital premiere. The makers have not announced a new OTT release date yet.

After completing its theatrical run, Toxic was expected to make its digital debut soon. Several reports had suggested that the film could arrive on ZEE5 towards the end of September. However, the film did not appear in the platform's September plans.



Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic explores a gangster-driven world and combines elements of action, crime and drama. The film was backed by KVN Productions and was mounted on a large scale.

The film's music was composed by Ravi Basrur, who is known for his work on the KGF franchise. His association with the project was another reason for interest among Yash and KGF fans.

Geetu Mohandas, known for films such as Moothon, took on a different space with Toxic.
