'Don't Trouble the Trouble' Teaser: Fahadh Faasil is Back With Some Tricks Up His Sleeve

The makers of Don't Trouble the Trouble released the film's teaser on July 13, announcing a worldwide theatrical release on September 11. The fantasy drama stars Fahadh Faasil, alongside child actor Ssara Palekar. The film is written and directed by Shashank Yeleti, and is set to be released in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.

The teaser opens with Faasil's character, Suri, asking Ssara’s character if she’s excited, as he proceeds to introduce her to magic. Further packed with scenes of Suri impressing the young girl with silly “magic tricks” and making her disappear, the teaser reveals action scenes with Faasil making quick escapes, and the young girl’s character eventually appearing to gain powers.

The teaser establishes the film as a blend of comedy and fantasy, with the child character appearing to possess abilities that Fahadh's character cannot account for. The teasers, released in Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil, suggest that the film was shot simultaneously in Malayalam and Telugu, with the Tamil version dubbed. No further plot details have been officially disclosed.

Earlier this year, THR India reported that actor Saurabh Sachdeva had joined the cast of the film. Sachdeva, a veteran acting coach and performer, was seen in the Malayalam film Eko, making his debut in the industry. With Don’t Trouble the Trouble, the actor continues to make his mark across multiple regional industries.

The film is produced by Shobu Yarlagadda, Prasad Devineni and SS Karthikeya, and is presented by SS Rajamouli, whose son SS Karthikeya serves as one of the producers. The production companies behind the film are Arka Mediaworks and Showing Business. Music for the film is composed by Kaala Bhairava, cinematography is by Brad Francis ACS and editing by Praveen Anthony.

Faasil last entertained Telugu audiences in Pushpa 2: The Rule, playing the villainous, vindictive Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. Sachdeva was also a part of the Pushpa sequel, playing the character Hameed.

Shashank Yeleti previously directed Mana Mugguri Love Story (2017). Don't Trouble the Trouble marks his return to direction and his first collaboration with Fahadh Faasil.

Don't Trouble the Trouble releases worldwide on September 11 in Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil.
