Trisha is glad she was able to make it for the last few days of the promotion of her debut Bollywood film, Khatta Meetha, which has Hindi star Akshay Kumar in the lead.
The movie, directed by her mentor Priyadarshan, is hitting the marquee today. “It was heartwarming when Akshay himself called me personally and asked me to join him for his promotions of KM at Mumbai,” discloses the pretty actress, who is just back in her hometown after a hectic shooting schedule with Kamal Haasan in Venice. She continues saying, “As part of the promo for KM, Akki and I, along with noted choreographers Saroj Khan and Pony Varma, will be appearing as judges for a popular children’s dance reality show on a leading Hindi TV channel. Children will perform to the songs from Khatta Meetha and I am thrilled about this whole new concept,” she flashes her wide smile.
Trisha will also watch the film along with her costar and technicians at a grand premiere to be held today at Mumbai’s PVR Theatre. “I am going to be with Akshay for every publicity and promo for KM till he leaves for Toronto on July 25 to shoot for his next film,” informs the Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya star.
Trisha admits that she was a little reserved on the sets initially, and that it was Akshay who went all out to make her comfortable. “I wasn’t interacting much with people during my early days on the sets of Khatta Meetha. Akshay came to me and told me that girls in Mumbai talk so much, while I was the opposite, as I was much quieter.”
Heaping praise on Akshay, she says, “He is a big star and could have easily restricted himself to his work, but he is such a down-to-earth person that he made an effort to put me at ease.”
In the film, Trisha plays a saree-clad Municipal Commissioner in a de-glam role. “Just because I wear sarees in my debut Bollywood flick, I don’t want people to brand me a serious actress and assume they are not going to see me in glamorous roles. I am looking forward to doing alluring roles in future projects”, she asserts.
The vivacious actress adds, “In fact, there is a song Naana Chi Taang in Khatta Meetha which reveals the glam side of me. The song is already topping the music charts!”
