Director K S Ravikumar, who’s all set to direct Sanjay Dutt in the remake of the Kollywood hit Saamy, wanted Trisha to reprise her role from the original. Trisha had to decline the offer owing to her busy schedule.


Trisha, who debuted in 2010 in Bollywood with the lacklustre Khatta Meetha, has since not acted in another Hindi film. Saamy, which released in 2003, was one of Trisha’s biggest hits and starred Chiyaan Vikram as her hero.

When contacted, Trisha said, “Yes, I was approached for the film. But I am shooting three Tamil films back to back, which require me to travel extensively as well. I had to decline because I couldn’t accommodate anything new for the same reason. The Hindi film required me to allocate continuous dates from August.”

Eventually, the role has landed in the lap of Prachi Desai, who will play Sanjay’s heroine in the film.
