Fahadh Faasil has that ‘madness in his eyes’, Karthikeya promises a wild Telugu debut

SS Karthikeya, son of visionary filmmaker SS Rajamouli, couldn’t hold back his admiration for acclaimed actor Fahadh Faasil, who has officially begun shooting for his next Telugu project titled “Don’t Trouble the Trouble.” In a heartfelt post on X, Karthikeya praised Fahadh as one of those rare performers who completely disappear into the characters he portrays.

“It’s always a treat watching #FahadhFaasil perform. He’s one of those rare actors who disappears into every role he plays. Every time he’s on screen, you can’t look away,” Karthikeya wrote. “I’ve admired him for years for the honesty, the stillness, and the madness in his eyes.”

Karthikeya called it both a “It’s a dream and a huge responsibility” to bring the celebrated Malayalam actor to Telugu cinema through his maiden production venture, in collaboration with Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni, the producers behind Baahubali.

The film, “Don’t Trouble the Trouble,” marks a major milestone for both the actor and the producer. Directed by Shashank Yeleti, the film promises to be a quirky, unpredictable ride. Describing the project, Karthikeya added: “This film is wild, fun, and full of surprises. Our entire team has poured their hearts into it and we’re finally rolling!”

The film's first schedule has officially begun in Hyderabad, with Fahadh Faasil joining the set from Day 1.

Already a national sensation, Fahadh Faasil made a powerful entry into Telugu cinema as the menacing antagonist in Allu Arjun’s “Pushpa”. “Don’t Trouble the Trouble” will be his third Telugu film, further cementing his pan-India appeal.

The actor was last seen in the Malayalam film “Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira,” directed by Althaf Salim and co-starring Kalyani Priyadarshan.
