"I will never sign up for work just for the sake of it, even if it
means sitting at home," says the talented actor.
Trisha was offered several women-centric roles ever since she potrayed
Jessie in'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya'.
Recently, a lesser-known Tamil producer offered the ravishing beauty
over Rs.1 crore for a heroine-orientedfilm, but she refused to sign
the film. "I survived in the industry for 10 years not only because of
luck. The quality of films that I did mattered a lot. Even my flop
films are those that I don't regret doing. My policy has always been
that I would never sign up for work, justfor the sake of it -even if
it means sitting at home for a couple of months," Trisha had said in
an earlier interview to DC.
Now, the grapevine has it that M.S. Raju, the 'Mankatha' star's mentor
in Tollywood has succeeded in convincing Trisha to essay
awoman-centric role in an upcoming film. If close sources are to be
believed, the ace producer/filmmaker was in Chennai recently to
narrate the script. Buzz is that the story has been written only
keeping Trisha in mind and it is a socio-fantasy film along the lines
of 'Arundhathi'. "It is very much a contemporary subjectand the
actress was so impressed that she signed on the dotted line at once,"
an inside source reveals.
There are two more girls in the movie and a new hero would be cast as
the male lead. It is to be noted that Trisha was a lucky mascot for
M.S. Raju with his earlier Telugu hits 'Varsham' and 'Nuvvuvasthanate
Nennuvadhtanana'.
The film is expected to go onthe floors early next year after Trisha
completes her present assignments — Samar with Vishal, Bhoologam with
Jayam Ravi and Endrendrum Punnagai with Jiiva.
