After a long break of seven years, Shobu Yarlagadda’s Arka Media, which produced the iconic Baahubali franchise, had announced two films with Fahash Faasil last year. One of these projects is finally on the shooting floors now.
The film, titled Don’t Trouble The Trouble, is written and directed by Shashank Yeleti. Shobu Yarlagadda shared the update on his X page, by posting a picture from the first day of shoot, where one can see the clapboard being used on the shoot. “And it begins — Don’t Trouble The Trouble Day 1,” the caption simply read.
Arka Media is producing Don't Trouble The Trouble in collaboration with SS Karthikeya and Prasad Devineni under Showing Business banner. SS Rajamouli is onboard for the film as well, as the presenter.
SS Karthikeya penned a long time about his association with Fahadh. He wrote, "It’s always a treat watching Fahadh Faasil 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. I’ve admired him for years for the honesty, the stillness, and the madness in his eyes."
Talking about the film, Karthikeya wrote, "Shashank will surprise you with Don't Trouble the Trouble. This film is wild, fun, and full of surprises."
At the time of project announcement, the team had also shared a concept poster featuring Fahadh and a child artist on top of a police jeep, where Fahadh looks shocked as the kid can be seen brandishing a magic wand, billing it as ‘a fantasy that takes you on a rollercoaster ride of fun, thrills and emotions.”
Other cast and crew details include Kaala Bhairava as the music director, Hamza Ali as the co-writer and Brad Franchis as the cinematographer. SS Kanchi has been credited for ‘script development.’
In the announcement that was made in March last year, the makers had also launched another project with Fahadh titled Oxygen, on which there is no update yet.
Meanwhile, the Baahubali team is also busy with their grand re-release plans of their iconic film series as a combined film. The Prabhas starrer, which will release as a one-part film of 3 hours 45 minutes duration, will arrive in theatres again on October 31.
