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 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 noted that “‘Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana’ is the best entertainer that I have seen in my life”[3] and she won 2 award FILM FARE AND NANDI AWARD.
Another film she was called up for was Mani Ratnam’s Aayitha Ezhuthu with Siddharth Narayan, Madhavan and Surya. 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. 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.
