The launch will take place at a grand event in Bengaluru before its digital release. Shedding light on the poster, it presents Yash in a dark, moody noir aesthetic, featuring a striking silhouette of his character, Raya, holding a Tommy gun.
Toxic controversies
Before the film finally hit the screens, the highly anticipated project encountered several speed bumps. Geetu Mohandas' gritty thriller was initially set to release on March 19, but due to the box-office clash with Aditya Dhar's much-acclaimed spy thriller, Dhurandhar, the makers decided to postpone it. It was then shifted to June 4, but the film was pushed again, this time to August.
The movie also sparked intense online and legal controversy over its bold promotional teaser. The first teaser, released in January 2026, showed Yash in a sexually explicit car scene, prompting social activists and the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) women's wing in Karnataka to file formal complaints with the Karnataka State Women's Commission and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
However, the backlash continued when the romantic track “Tabaahi'' featuring Yash and Kiara Advani, was officially released on July 7, 2026. The track soon sparked debate, with netizens criticising the actress for her bold and intimate scenes with her co-star.
Advani indirectly responded to criticism by explaining why she chose the character and its personality. In an interview with Femina, Advani said the role offered her “all the meat an actor longs for.”
