Trisha walks over Nayan
In less than few days of Nayan having been shown the door from the Lingusamy directed Payya, Trisha bagged the project and is all set to star in the movie. It is learnt that Nayan demanded a crore for the movie and refused any negotiations whatsoever. The producers, on the other hand, were ready to shell out 75 lakhs on her pay check. This tug of
war eventually ended with the producers finding a replacement for Nayan. Last heard, Trisha lapped up the project for 80 lakhs and signed in the contract papers giving away the required dates to Tirupathy pictures.
Payya is expected to kick start soon and it would be Karthi's third venture after the long-pending Selvaraghavan directed Aayirathil Oruvan.

After Bhavana it's now Trisha's turnThe closure of Bangkok airport SuvarnaBhumi had Trisha on hot waters for a few hours. The actress was in Thailand to take part in the shooting of the Telugu film King. Trisha shares the screen space with Tollywood actor Nagarjuna in this film. After completing the shooting, the team returned to the airport to fly down to Chennai but was shocked to
find the airport closed. The police requested them to leave the place immediately.
Later the team decided to take the road to Phuket Islands and from there flew down to Kuala Lumpur to reach Chennai. Trisha, while recalling her experience said that though she knew about the problem in Bangkok she did not anticipate the closure of the airport. It may be recalled that Bhavana also faced a similar situation a few days ago and got out of it safely.

Yuvan spills the beans on the splitThe combination of Yuvan Shankar Raja and Selvaraghavan scorched the Kollywood screens some time back and then came the news that the duo had split and G V Prakash Kumar was roped in to do Selva’s Aayirathil Oruvan. Though Selva and Yuvan never talked about the actual reason, media was at its best giving out different shades to the issue.
However, in a recent interview to a weekly, Yuvan was quoted as mentioning about the actual reason that resulted in their split. He had stated that though they were friends, the same kind of relationship cannot be extended to work and one needs to be professional in that aspect. It was said that Selva never committed Yuvan for his films and the latter was not compensated for his work at any time. When Yuvan’s personal life was in doldrums, the music director was in need of financial assistance but Selva did not help him then.
