Mahesh Babu has officially endorsed Don’t Trouble the Trouble — and not just with a nod. The Superstar took to social media on Thursday morning to call it a ‘complete and entertaining experience’, praising Fahadh Faasil’s performance as the kind of bold, layered work that keeps him coming back to cinema. He didn’t stop there: he highlighted the emotional depth, the warm tone, and especially the chemistry between Fahadh and young actor Ssara, calling their performances what brought the film’s characters to life. The film, directed by Shashank Yeleti and written by Yeleti and Hamza Ali, is produced by SS Karthikeya, Shobu Yarlagadda, and Prasad Devineni, and presented by none other than SS Rajamouli. It hits theatres on October 2. That’s when the real buzz starts. The pre-release event saw Suriya meet Rajamouli and Fahadh Faasil, though no official collaboration was announced. Still, fans are already dissecting the moment, with one meme doing the rounds: Fahaad Faasil ki kuda aa reference telusu antey, Chimtu bhai popularity ye veru aya! Meanwhile, Hanuman Ansh rolls into Telugu screens on October 9. No word yet on whether Mahesh Babu will be watching that one too. Or if he’ll be ready to praise another film before the weekend ends. What’s clear? The industry isn’t waiting for awards season to start the conversation. It’s already in full swing.
