After ‘96’ in 2018, Trisha has made a comeback in Tamil cinema with the film ‘Ponniyin Selvan’. Though the actress is called the Queen of South India and has millions of followers, Trisha reportedly charged only Rs 1.5 crore as her fee for films. However, after the success of ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ reports suggest that the actress has now doubled her fee to Rs 3 crore.
Directed by Mani Ratnam, ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ is a historic epic drama featuring Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai and Trisha in lead roles. Trisha plays the female lead as Chola princess Kundavai and she was critically acclaimed for her role in the movie. The film has reportedly grossed more than Rs 500 crore at the box office and is still running in theatres after 30 days of its release. The film recently made its digital premiere on OTT but the access is limited and on November 4, the film will be available for the digital subscribers to watch.
On the work front, Trisha is currently shooting for her next film titled ‘The Road’ which is directed by debutant Arun Vaseegaran. The film went on floors in April and the actress on Diwali launched the first look poster of the movie announcing that the teaser of the film will be out soon. The actress in the poster gives a fierce look with her gun. It is after ‘Thoongavanam’ that fans get to witness Trisha in an action role.
Director Arun previously in an interview with the media revealed that the film is inspired from real events and that he had researched about the film for nearly three years before finalising the script. Reportedly, the story of the film is about the true incident that happened in the Madurai highway and added that actress Trisha made a huge commitment for the movie and said she also acted in dangerous terrains and said it was not easy.
The film also features actors Santhosh Prathap and Shabeer Kallarakkal.
