Akshay Kumar, it turns out, wasn’t wrong in putting his trust in director Priyadarshan for casting an appropriate leading lady opposite him in his new film Khatta Meetha. The superstar may have had his doubts when Priyadarshan roped in the south star Trisha Krishnan, but all the apprehensions were laid to rest on the movie’s sets.
Like a true professional Trisha hadn’t hid the fact from both Priyadarshan and Akki that she isn’t very fluent in Hindi, though she studied the language in her school. But when the movie’s shoot began in a village a 100 kilometres away from Pune, Trisha took everyone by surprise.
“Trisha is turning out to be the surprise package. Before the shoot, she had informed us that she couldn’t converse in Hindi…But she took all of us by surprise when she spoke fluently in Hindi. I could see the smile on Akki’s face as he was delighted with her performance,” Priyadarshan is quoted as saying by a news daily.
Priyan went on to reveal that Trisha has a pivotal role in the film. She plays two characters in different time periods. The director also clarifies that it’s not a double role, but he promises that Trisha will get more footage in ‘Khatta Meetha’ than any actress has got in his previous films.
