Don't Trouble the Trouble, Fahadh Faasil's first Telugu film as lead, streams on Netflix from October 30. The Netflix title page lists the fantasy film with Fahadh, Ssara Palekar and Venkatesh Kakumanu, and Netflix India South confirmed it will play in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.

For Kerala viewers, that means a Malayalam audio track at home, four weeks after the film's theatrical run.
Theatre to OTT window
The film is reported to have opened in theatres on October 2, 2026. With the Netflix date of October 30, the gap works out to 28 days, a four-week window between the big screen and streaming. Netflix describes the story as that of Suri, a self-centred small-time crook who falls in with Divya, a young girl with magic powers, and agrees to help find her missing parents.
Who made it
S.S. Rajamouli presents the film. Shobu Yarlagadda, Prasad Devineni and S.S. Karthikeya produce it under the Arka Media Works and Showing Business banners, the team behind Baahubali. S.S. Kanchi handled script development.
Shashank Yeleti makes his directing debut and shares writing credit with co-writer Hamsa Ali. Kaala Bhairava composed the songs and background score, and Praveen Antony edited the film. Brad Francis handled the cinematography, as credited on Arka Media Works' own official film page for the movie.
Here's the official trailer from Arka Mediaworks:
The Kerala connection
Bhavana Release, the distribution arm of Bhavana Studios, brought the film to Kerala theatres. Fahadh co-runs the banner with Dileesh Pothan and Syam Pushkaran, and the studio has since started Karate Chandran as its eighth production, with Fahadh in the lead.
The Telugu outing also widens a run of films outside Malayalam that began with Velaikkaran. Fahadh is also tied to Jithu Madhavan's Tamil film Scene, which the director says began with a Fahadh and Nazriya pairing in mind.

Should you watch it
The film suits a family watch, with fantasy, humour and a lighter Fahadh than his recent intense roles. Pick the Malayalam track if you skipped it in theatres. For the rest of the week's titles, see our OTT releases this week roundup, and follow Fahadh Faasil on SM.
