Shobu Yarlagadda of Arka Media has announced two pan-Indian projects with Fahadh Faasil along with their first look posters through social media. These films will also be jointly produced by SS Karthikeya. The first film is Don’t Trouble the Trouble and will be directed by Shashank Yeleti which is a fantasy adventure film with a heartfelt story between a man and a young kid. The cinematography will be handled by Brad Francis and the film will be edited by Praveen Anthony. The film will go on floors in June of this year and is set to be released sometime next year.
The second film is titled Oxygen. Based on true events, it will be directed by Siddhartha Nadella and tells a tale of transformation and friendship. The film will be shot by Veda Vyas Gottipati and edited by Niranjan Devarmane. The shoot for this film will start this year.
Kaala Bhairava will compose music for both films, while SS Rajamouli will present them. Arka Media Works famously produced the Baahubali film series which put SS Rajamouli on the world map and started the pan-Indian craze in the first place. They have made only two films since then and are back after a mini hiatus after releasing Pelli SandaD (2021).
