Trisha in 2022
Trisha is an Indian actress who appears primarily in
Tamil and
Telugu films. She was first seen in 1999 in a minor supporting role in
Jodi , then in the music video of
Falguni Pathak 's song "Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye". The first project she accepted as a lead actress was
Priyadarshan 's
Lesa Lesa , but a delay in the film's release meant that her first appearance in a lead role was in
Ameer 's directorial debut
Mounam Pesiyadhe in 2002, which was a commercial success.
[2]
The following year, Trisha appeared as a terminally ill woman in
Manasellam ,
[4] which was a commercial failure.
[5] Her next release in 2003 was
Hari 's action film,
Saamy in which she played a soft-spoken
Brahmin girl and attracted praise for her performance. The film became a major commercial success, resulting in Trisha receiving new offers, including those from several high-budget productions.
[7]
[8] Lesa Lesa , which was to have been her debut as a lead actress, was released next. This romantic musical, based on the 1998
Malayalam film
Summer in Bethlehem , earned her the
ITFA Best New Actress Award . Following Lesa Lesa , she starred in
Alai and
Enakku 20 Unakku 18 both of which were commercial failures.
[10]
[5] She made her debut in Telugu cinema in the same year with Nee Manasu Naaku Telusu , which was also unsuccessful.
[11]
[12]
Trisha's next Telugu release was
Varsham in 2004. It was a major success, and won her the
Filmfare Best Actress Award (Telugu) .
[13] It also resulted in her receiving more offers for roles in Telugu films.
[11] Later in 2004, Trisha played the role of a
damsel in distress where a
kabaddi player tries to save from a corrupt politician who wants to marry her in
Ghilli .
[14] It was a major commercial success.
[15] She appeared in
Mani Ratnam 's political drama
Aayutha Ezhuthu (2004), starring as part of an ensemble cast that included
Siddharth ,
R. Madhavan and
Suriya .
[16] The Telugu romantic comedy
Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana (2005) featured Trisha as a village girl and was a commercial success.
[17] It earned her another Filmfare Award and her first
Nandi Award for Best Actress .
[18]
[19] She reprised the role in the Tamil remake
Unakkum Enakkum (2006) which was also successful.
[20]
[21]
Selvaraghavan 's Telugu film
Aadavari Matalaku Arthale Verule (2007) won Trisha her third Filmfare Award.
[22]
[23] The same year she featured opposite
Ajith Kumar in
A. L. Vijay 's
Kireedam .
[24] In 2008, her releases
Bheemaa and
Kuruvi both failed commercially,
[25] while
Abhiyum Naanum and
Krishna earned her Filmfare nominations for Best Actress in the
Tamil and Telugu categories respectively.
[26]
[27]
Trisha starred in two films released in 2009:
Sarvam and
Sankham . The former was commercially unsuccessful,
[28] while the latter was critically derided.
[29] The following year, she played a Kerala Christian girl in
Gautham Vasudev Menon 's romance
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa . It was a major commercial success and, as well as being a breakthrough film in her career,
[30] earned her a Filmfare nomination for Best Actress (Tamil).
[31] The same year, she made her
Hindi cinema debut with
Khatta Meetha . Although a critical and commercial failure,
[32]
[33] it earned her nomination for a
Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut .
[34] Her sole Telugu release that year was
Namo Venkatesa .
[35] Both her 2011 releases –
Teen Maar and
Mankatha – were successful.
[36]
[37] She had two releases in 2012:
Bodyguard (a Telugu remake of the 2010
Malayalam film of the same name ) and
Dammu .
[38]
[39]
Trisha appeared in two Tamil films in 2013: the mystery thriller
Samar ,
[40] and
Endrendrum Punnagai , which earned her a Filmfare nomination.
