BGMI introduces exclusive Toxic-themed voice packs in Hindi and Kannada, alongside collectable in-game rewards inspired by the upcoming film universe
BENGALURU: BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA (BGMI) is bringing the worlds of cinema and gaming together through its latest collaboration, Yash x BGMI: The Toxic Voice Pack, as part of the game’s 4.4 update, announced recently. Featuring actor Yash in one of BGMI’s biggest celebrity integrations yet, the collaboration introduces exclusive voice packs in both Hindi and Kannada alongside a slate of Toxic-themed in-game collectables inspired by the upcoming cinematic universe.
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups stars Yash alongside Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria. The film is being shot in Kannada and English, and will also be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, the project is positioned as a large-scale international action drama.
Designed to celebrate the growing crossover between entertainment, fandom and interactive gaming experiences, the collaboration will unfold across two phases. Beginning May 28, 2026, players can participate in the Toxic Exchange Event, featuring daily missions and permanent themed rewards including the Toxic Daddy Trenchcoat, Toxic Parachute, Toxic Avatar, Toxic Avatar Frame and Toxic Space Gift and Limited Voice Packs in Hindi and Kannada. Starting June 2, 2026, players will also gain access to the Toxic Voice Pack Crate, featuring Yash’s voice as Special Voice Packs in Hindi and Kannada.
As part of the campaign, BGMI also rolled out a surprise cameo film featuring Yash, further extending the collaboration beyond the game.
Speaking on the collaboration, Rocking Star Yash said: “When we talk about Gen Z, we are talking about a generation that demands authenticity, edge and narratives that disrupt, which matches the vibe of Toxic. And you find the absolute core of that audience inside BGMI as well. The Battlegrounds have changed gaming to become a cultural space where young creators build their own stories and maps. What excites me most about BGMI isn’t just the game – it’s what the community does with it. Bringing my voice and the energy of Toxic : A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups to India’s passionate young community experiences is a great integration, and I’m excited for the audience to try it.”
Seddharth Merrotra, Head of Business Development and Partnerships, KRAFTON India, said, “Yash is one of India’s biggest pan-India superstars – the kind of name that doesn’t just have fans, it has a movement. When we look at a collaboration, the question is always: does this feel real to our players? With Yash and Toxic, the answer was obvious. BGMI’s community skews young, action-obsessed, and deeply connected to Indian pop culture – that’s exactly who Yash speaks to. And having his actual voice inside the game, in Hindi and Kannada, takes it beyond a cosmetic collaboration into something players will genuinely feel every time they drop into a match.”
The Yash x BGMI collaboration is the latest expression of what BGMI is becoming: not just a game India plays, but a creative platform India builds together. Across 260 million downloads, India’s Gen Z has turned BGMI into a cultural space – designing maps, creating in-game moments, building communities and now, hearing the voices of the stars they love most inside the Battleground. Yash’s entry into that world, through a collaboration timed to one of Indian cinema’s most anticipated releases in Toxic, is a statement of that ambition – where cinema, gaming and Gen Z culture meet, and where India’s biggest fans find something that genuinely belongs to them.
