What is only being reported
None of the figures below has been confirmed by the makers or ZEE5.
- Pre-release offers of about ₹150 crore were reportedly turned down while the makers held out for more (123Telugu, via The Economic Times; Teatime Telugu says the makers expected over ₹200 crore).
- ZEE5 / Zee Studios reportedly offered about ₹30 crore, possibly structured as a ₹15 crore advance plus pay-per-view revenue (Teatime Telugu, Telugu360).
- The deal is reportedly still not closed as of October 14 (Telugu360), with the makers weighing whether to wait for a better offer.
- A re-edited OTT version has been speculated about, with nothing official (Teatime Telugu).
So when will Toxic come to OTT?
Honestly, nobody outside the deal knows. Once a platform signs, Indian films usually get a formal announcement and a promo campaign a week or two before streaming, so if you see a date without an official post from ZEE5 or KVN Productions, treat it as a rumour. Until then, the only way to watch Toxic is in theatres where it is still showing.
