Toxic Ladies & Ladies teaser

The less than two-minute long teaser opens with a ‘warning’ for viewers. It says, "Kids… stay away. Parents… make sure your kids stay away. Grandparents… make sure your kids’ kids stay away. Great-grandparents… at your own risk.” The clip opens to a scene featuring Yash and Kiara Advani on a beach. However, their faces are not revealed. It is followed by a glimpse of Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria in different settings.

A voiceover says, "Love! Love makes monsters of women. It is a beautiful illusion if one understands the depth of its deception. And yet, here we are fighting for his scraps of devotion.”

In the next seen, Yash appears, rolling up his sleeve, saying, "Ladies and ladies, do you want to come one by one or all at once?” He fights a group of women, which intercuts to his intimate scenes with multiple women. It also includes the controversial intimacy scene in a car from the previous teaser, which created an uproar on the internet.
