‘Trisha not ousted from Jiiva’s film’

While a certain section of the press went to town with news of Trisha's ouster from Jiiva's film, Trisha's mom trashes these reports.

In fact even director Ahmed, who was quoted in the newspaper report expressed shock at such flimsy reports.

A few days ago, Ahmed had made an official announcement about his next film with Jiiva, that is being produced by GKM Tamizh Kumaran and Dr Ramadoss, with Harris helming the music. Later, Trisha was touted to play the lead opposite Jiiva.

Trashing reports that Trisha has been ousted from Jiiva's film, Ahmed who is in Mumbai spoke to DC.

"I only said that Trisha was very impressed with the script and instantly gave her nod. Since she has been busy and the film is only set to go on the floors in May, we are waiting for her to sign on the dotted line. She hasn't been ousted. I have been misquoted in a certain newspaper."

He further added, "I want only Trisha to play the role in my rom-com alongside Jiiva."

Trisha, who was busy shooting for Dammu with Jr NTR in Pollachi, was not reachable due to connectivity problems but her mother Uma Krishnan, said, "Trisha will be very much a part of Jiiva- Ahmed project. We could not sign on the dotted line because after the talks happened, Trisha was shooting out of the country.

"And, now when she was back, the producer was out of station. I trust the words of the producer and the director and a contract is just a procedural step. We don't appreciate malicious stories."
