CHENNAI: Age difference doesn’t bother south Indian actress Trisha Krishnan who entered Bollywood with ‘Khatta Meetha’ opposite 43-year-old Akshay Kumar and is currently shooting a Tamil film opposite 55-plus Kamal Haasan. But for her second Hindi film, she will be seen with 24-year-old Prateik Babbar.
“The second Hindi film is a love story with just me and the guy in central roles. It’s a subject that can’t go wrong. I’ve already done the Tamil version of this film ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’. Now the same director, Gautham Menon, is remaking it in Hindi with Prateik and me,” Trisha said. “I think we should be kick-starting it in August. I am excited because unlike ‘Khatta Meetha’, where I don’t have a central part, this one has a central role for me,” she added.
Trisha confesses she had her lines in Hindi dubbed in her first film. “In Chennai no one talks in Hindi. I was a little worried about my Hindi since my character in ‘Khatta Meetha’ is from a fluent Hindi-speaking belt. So both Priyan and I decided I wouldn’t dub my own lines. But it’s not a problem. I know I’ll soon master it. It’s simpler than South Indian languages,” the actress said.
“I was so busy doing Tamil and Telugu films that I didn’t get time to consider Hindi films although offers did come. Also I wanted to do something that would give me a wide audience. I chose Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar ... Their combination always works,” she said.
