Fahadh Faasil made his highly anticipated test as a primary leading man in Telugu cinema with the upcoming fantasy-comedy Don’t Trouble The Trouble, which hit theatres on October 2, 2026.
While Faasil has already achieved massive commercial success and widespread acclaim in the Telugu market through his antagonist role as Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat in the Pushpa franchise (Pushpa: The Rise and Pushpa 2: The Rule), Don’t Trouble The Trouble marks a critical milestone as his very first Telugu film in the main lead role.
Unlike his intense, gritty, or morally ambiguous portrayals, Fahadh has described this project as a “kids’ film for grown-ups”— a refreshing, family-friendly fantasy drama that follows his character, Suri, a street-smart magician, alongside a young girl played by Ssara Palekar.
The film carries immense industry weight. It is being presented by S.S. Rajamouli and produced by the veteran team at Arka Media Works (known for Baahubali) alongside Showing Business. Rajamouli has already given the film an enthusiastic early review, publicly praising Fahadh for infusing immense life into a very unique role.
Because this marks Fahadh’s transition from an acclaimed ensemble/villain actor into a solo box-office draw for Telugu-speaking audiences, the film’s performance will officially define his tier status as a bankable regional protagonist.
