The upcoming film Toxic has not opened bookings in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana even though its release is less than a day away, as theatres are caught in a show‑sharing dispute with Ravi Teja’s Irumudi.
The much‑anticipated Telugu action thriller Toxic is slated to hit screens within the next 24 hours, but its advance ticket sales have not yet started in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Distributors report that the usual online and offline booking portals remain closed, leaving fans unable to secure seats ahead of the opening day.
Industry sources say the delay stems from a show‑sharing disagreement with the concurrent release of Ravi Teja’s comedy‑drama Irumudi. Both films are vying for prime slots in multiplexes, and theatre owners are reportedly negotiating how to allocate screen time without compromising either film’s box‑office potential.
The stalemate has raised concerns among cinema‑goers and exhibitors alike, as any further postponement could affect opening‑day collections. Stakeholders are said to be in talks to resolve the issue before the scheduled release, but no official statement has been released yet.
