Southern actress Trisha describes her entry into Bollywood as dream debut and thanks her mentor, filmmaker Priyadarshan, who launched her in Tamil movies with Lesa Lesa seven years ago, for now introducing her to Hindi films as well.

Priyan has signed Trisha for the Hindi movie "Khatta Meetha" opposite Bollywood star Akshay Kumar.

My lucky director Priyadarshan, who introduced me in Tamil movies, is giving me a break in Hindi films too. After my debut in 'Lesa, Lesa', I was reticent about my career. Now with a firm foot in southern cinema, things have worked out for Bollywood as well, thanks to Priyadarshan. I have a meaty role on par with Akshay in the movie.
