The CBFC has given the green light to the fantasy‑adventure starring Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil and child actress Sara Palaekar. The film, titled Don’t Trouble The Trouble, carries a U/A certificate, meaning viewers above thirteen can watch it without parental guidance, while younger kids need an adult.

The movie runs for two hours and thirty‑eight minutes, a slightly longer slot than the average regional release. Director Shashank Yelleti, working under the banner of Arka Media Works and Show‑Biz Banners, helmed the project with SS Rajamouli listed as presenter. Production design, music and other technical credits include names like Kalabhairava for music and Broad Francis handling cinematography.

Plot hints and genre mix

The premise follows a street‑wise magician named Suri (Faasil) who pulls a child named Divya (Palaekar) into a supernatural mystery. The child vanishes during a magic act, only to return as a ghost with otherworldly powers. The story promises a blend of supernatural powers, adventure, comedy and emotional beats.

Launch buzz

A pre‑release event in Hyderabad saw a flurry of industry heavyweights. Young Tiger NTR attended as chief guest, offering best wishes to the crew. Veteran director K. Raghavendra Rao also made an appearance, adding a touch of old‑school glamour to the proceedings. Their presence has amplified curiosity among fans, especially because the film explores a genre rarely seen in Telugu cinema.

Multilingual rollout

The producers have opted for a simultaneous launch across three languages – Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam – on October 2. This strategy mirrors recent pan‑Indian releases that aim to capture a broader audience without staggered dates. The worldwide release plan suggests the makers are banking on the star power of Faasil, who has a solid fan base across South India, and the novelty of a fantasy narrative.

Technical slate

Beyond the leads, the film has a crew that includes editor Praveen Anthony, production designers Mohan Nath Bingi and Sandeep Suvana, and stylist Rama Rajamouli. The music by Kalabhairava is expected to complement the magical tone, while the visual treatment from Broad Francis should give the supernatural elements a polished look.

With the censor hurdle cleared and a star‑studded launch event behind it, Don’t Trouble The Trouble is set to test whether a fantasy adventure can draw crowds in a market dominated by action and drama. The October 2 opening will be the first real gauge of audience appetite for such a concept.

The film’s performance in its opening weekend will likely dictate whether more fantasy‑driven projects get green‑lit in the regional space. Keep an eye on box‑office trackers as the numbers start coming in.
