The latest import from the South – Trisha Krishnan had a so-so debut in Priyadarshan’s satire Khatta Meetha. Though the movie wasn’t a box office blockbuster like Priyadarshan’s previous comedy escapades, it did launch Trisha’s career in Bollywood and the actress is in no mood to back off without placing herself as a leading lady in the North. She has got definite plans for attaining this status and that involves being choosy and demanding about her male leads and the projects.

“I would love to work with established stars like Aamir and SRK. Also, young actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan are very promising,” says Trisha. It is indeed surprising to see Akshay Kumar’s name missing from that list as the actress was often found showering praises on him till Khatta Meetha released.

Trisha goes on to add, “When I started my career in South, I worked with well packaged filmmakers and will follow the same in Bollywood. Since I want to establish myself here, I intend to be part of well packaged films. As I am venturing in this industry I am making cautious moves...Also, I am choosy about the films I do. I want to slowly and gradually make a mark in this industry as well.”

The plan sounds good Trisha. But we’d suggest that you keep your fingers crossed as Bollywood has its dose of unpleasant surprises and that includes big budget superstar movies tanking without warning.
