{ "title": "Ram Gopal Varma Predicts Toxic Box-Office Flop, Hails Dhurandhar 2 as a Threat", "article": "Renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has been vocal about his admiration for Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, which topped the 2025 box office charts. Now, ahead of the highly anticipated 2026 clash, Varma has taken a veiled swipe at Yash's Toxic, starring Kiara Advani and Huma Qureshi. In a social media post, Varma hinted that Toxic might not fare well against Dhurandhar 2, starring Ranveer Singh. Varma's comments came in the form of a tweet, where he wrote, "DHURANDHAR 2 'S BITE will be TOXIC." This isn't the first time Varma has taken a dig at South Indian cinema while praising Dhurandhar. He had previously described Dhurandhar as the 'fireball' that has 'kicked back' the South Indian invasion into Bollywood. Dhurandhar, released in December 2025, has broken records and surpassed expectations, grossing over ₹1000 crore worldwide. The film's sequel, Dhurandhar 2, is set to hit theaters on March 19, 2026. On the other hand, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, written by Yash and Geetu, is set to clash with Dhurandhar 2 on the same day. The film, directed by Geetu, has been shot in both Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned for various languages. Kiara Advani and Huma Qureshi star in the film, which is produced by Venkat K Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. "
