Director Rajamouli is known for his remarkable success in the Telugu film industry, having delivered blockbusters without a single flop in his career. His films, especially Baahubali took Telugu cinema to the international stage making him a director every actor dreams of working with. However, actress Trisha once declined an opportunity to work with Rajamouli, surprising many.
The film was Maryada Ramanna, released in 2010. The movie, starring comedian Sunil and actress Saloni was a major hit earning over 28 crores on a 12-crore budget. Initially, Rajamouli considered casting Trisha as the heroine. However when approached Trisha reportedly refused stating that she did not want to act alongside a comedian like Sunil. This decision led Rajamouli to cast Saloni instead, a choice that worked out well for the film’s success.
At that time, Trisha was already a popular star in both Telugu and Tamil industries, with multiple hits under her belt. Her decision to skip Rajamouli’s film was seen as prioritizing her established stardom and choosing roles more suited to her image.
Fast forward to today, Trisha remains one of the busiest actresses in the South Indian film industry. Her recent performances in the Ponniyin Selvan series and the blockbuster Leo, alongside Tamil star Vijay have further boosted her career. With several films lined up opposite leading actors like Chiranjeevi, Vijay, Ajith, Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal, Trisha’s demand continues to grow.
