Trisha foray into Mollywood

The dusky Trisha Krishnan has a huge fan base in Kerala, thanks to the popularity of Tamil and Telugu films down there. However, the actor kept refusing roles in Mollywood, despite the fact that several of her contemporaries gladly accepted them and garnered critical acclaim.



After 12 years of avoiding Malayalam films later, Trisha has taken the plunge and signed a film with Prithviraj.



Was it the success of her Malayalee Christian character in last year’s Tamil superhit Vinnaithandi Varuvaayaa that made Trisha warm up to Kerala, or is there truth in the rumours that roles from other industries are hard to come by?



In either case, Mollywood is quite excited about the latest entrant who will appear in director Deepan’s next venture titled Hero.

'Hero' has been scripted by Vinod Guruvayoor and there are rumours that Tamil star Srikanth may be roped in to play a negative role in it. You may recall that Srikanth played the lead in Kanakanden, Prithviraj’s debut Tamil film that had him essay a negative character. Looks like it is payback time for Srikanth, as the two actors are known to be quite friendly with each other after their first movie together.



Others in the cast of Hero include Thalaivasal Vijay, Nedumudi Venu, Arun, Anil Murali, Guinness Pakru and Kottayam Nazeer.

Shriya to pair up with Prithviraj

Shriya Saran will once again team up with Prithviraj to scorch the screens in the Malayalam movie Hero.

The film is scheduled to begin production in November and will be directed by Deepan.

Earlier, Trisha was rumoured to play the lead actress in the movie, making it her debut vehicle in the Malayalam cinema, but had to back out due to scheduling conflicts. Deepan confirms that Shriya will now play the role.

This will be Shriya's third Malayalam movie after the Mammootty-Prithviraj hit Pokkirri Raja and Mohanlal's Casanova. Hero will also star Srikanth in an important role.

Amala denied Prithviraj..

Amala Paul recently got the opportunity to act with Prithviraj in a Malayalam film. The actress was very happy as Malayalam is her mother tongue, and Prithviraj is a huge star.

Unfortunately Amala couldn't accept the offer as the production crew wanted bulk dates from her in July and she had already given those dates for Mupozhudum Un Karpanai with Atharva.

The pretty actress had no choice but to refuse.

She said that since her career in Tamil films is looking good, she intends to stay focused and make Tamil cinema her priority for the moment.

All her forthcoming films are good projects that offer her plenty of scope to perform, so Amala Paul says she is very happy and content.

Single No More : Prithviraj

Actor Prithviraj tied the nuptial knot with Mumbai-based BBC journalist Supriya Menon at the Kandath heritage villa at Thenkurissy Village in Palakkad district on Monday, April 25th 2011.

Supriya Menon, who arrived for the marriage along with her father Vijay K Menon and mother Padma, friends and relatives, is a native of Shantinagar in Palakkad. Heavy security was arranged at the resort in connection with the marriage.

Supriya Menon wore a gold colour cream saree while Prithviraj appeared in mundu and kurtha.

Though the local photographers and television channels were not allowed inside the resort, over a dozen private photographers covered the function.


It is learnt that even the mobile phones of over two dozen staff members of the resort were confiscated and switched off to keep the whole affair private. After the marriage Prithviraj and Supriya Menon went to Ernakulam, without speaking to the journalists waiting outside the gate.

The marriage ceremony was a private affair with only close friends and family attending the intimate ceremony. His special day was far away from the spotlight and the media frenzy as he wished and has planned for a grand reception at the Le Meridien in Ernakulam on May 1.
