* Pretty Trisha salvages career

Trisha nearly committed T-town harakiri by constantly choosing films that allowed her to work alongside heroes such as Nagarjuna, Ravi Teja and Venkatesh. She never realised that by doing so she was closing her options of working with Gen X stars. This could have put an abrupt end to her seven-year-career in T-Town.

However, Trisha has decided to do a film, Dammu, with Jr NTR. The move may change the course of her career, and even extend it by a few years, since the seasoned actress will have a few more young actors wanting to work with her. Sources said that it is precisely for this reason that she appointed a new manager. “Gen X stars are wary of working with actresses who shared screen space with their dad or uncle, and prefer to work with newcomers,” says our source, close to Trisha. To break this perception, she took up a film opposite Jr NTR for Rs 90 lakh, instead of her usual Rs 1.20 crore for the film.
