  "account": "Fahadh Faasil shares insights on his first Telugu film, Don't Trouble the Trouble, which he directed and starred in. The actor, known for his Malayalam cinema, faced the challenge of thinking in Telugu for the first time while converting his thoughts to English and then performing the lines in Telugu. This proved difficult as he was accustomed to singing lines live on set, a technique used in Malayalam cinema but not in Telugu. To overcome this, Faasil insisted on dubbing his own lines and bringing the sync-sound discipline of Malayalam cinema to the Telugu set. He adopted a working style similar to his home state, performing in real locations in Hyderabad, a method he found instinctive, having never shot in a controlled environment before. The film's script resonated with Faasil, who felt he was hearing a story similar to his life for the first time. He described Don't Trouble the Trouble as a deeper tale about love, concern, and care, rather than one solely built on fantasy elements. The actor emphasized that the film is a \"kids film for grown-ups,\" aiming to evoke a sense of wonder in adults. Faasil also highlighted the importance of proper planning in taking films to a wider audience, a lesson he believes Telugu cinema has demonstrated effectively.",
