[edit] Film career
Trisha first made her debut in films when she was offered a small cameo in the film Jodi. However, the first movie in which she signed up to enact the role of the leading lady was Priyadarshan's Leysa Leysa. A string of flops marked the beginning of her career, such as Manasellam,and Alai. However she was well suited for her role opposite Surya in Mounam Pesiyadhe and won critical acclaim.
She was offered to play Vikram's lady love in the mega blockbuster Saamy. The next huge film she took part in followed immediately afterwards, was Ghilli with Vijay, which was a remake of Telugu blockbuster Okkadu.
In 2004, she starred in Varsham in Telugu which went on to become the biggest hit of the year and turned her into an overnight sensation. In 2005, she starred alongside Siddharth Narayan in the telugu flick Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana as the village girl Siri. The movie is about a rich boy, who tries to marry a girl - however her brother opposes. It is directed by Prabhu Deva, was successful at the box office [1] [2]. Trisha quoted that "'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' is the best entertainer that I have seen in my life"[3] and she won 2 awards for the film which include the Filmfare Award and Nandi Award.
Another film she was called up for was Mani Ratnam's Aayitha Ezhuthu with Siddharth Narayan, Madhavan and Surya, which was the only time she dubbed herself for the film. Her later movies, Ji, Aathi and Aaru did not do well either - though Aaru was received well by critics and both dubbed in Tamil and Telugu and produced by Saran, who had previously directed several successful movies [4]. Her recent Telugu movie, Pournami, directed by Prabhu Deva, was also a flop. However, Something Something ... Unnakum Ennakum, where Trisha acted opposite Jayam Ravi which released in 2006 did well at the box office. Something Something ... Unnakum Ennakum is a remake of the Telugu movie, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana where she plays the same role again.
Her Telugu film, Stalin with Chiranjeevi which released in 2006 created Indian record by collecting a share of RS. 130.8 million in 5 days. This got another entry for Stalin into the record books for the highest collected so far for any South Indian film in the first 5 days. This film grossed 5.3 crores on its opening day. In the U.S., it collected around 65,500 USD on the opening day. In the first seven days, the film grossed Rs. 17.6 crores worldwide, which was yet another record for South Indian film industry. The film grossed a total of Rs. 24.42 crores worldwide in 2 weeks which is another South-Indian record. The film grossed a total of Rs. 32 crores worldwide in 3 weeks.
Her latest Telugu film, Sainikudu with Mahesh Babu released on November 30, 2006. There was high expectations in the trade circles from this film especially after the smashing hit Pokiri but this high budget film started off with a below average talk. Despite receiving bad talk from the film trade, the film managed to get a fantastic opening in India and overseas. The movie is currently doing very well abroad.
Trisha also recently replaced Rani Mukherjee as the Brand Ambassador of Fanta India. [5]
She is currently acting in one Telugu film, Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule opposite Venkatesh directed by Selvaraghavan. She also has three Tamil films, Bheema with Vikram, Kireedam with Ajith ,Sathyam with Vishal.
