Trisha and Varsham: The Rain That Made Her a Superstar

Trisha Krishnan remains one of the few actresses in Indian cinema to sustain her leading-lady status even after two decades in the industry. At 40, she continues to shine as a sought-after heroine, starring alongside big names in both Kollywood and Tollywood. While many of her contemporaries in South Indian cinema have transitioned to supporting roles, Trisha stands apart, pairing with superstars like Chiranjeevi in Telugu and leading actors in Tamil.

The Rain That Changed Everything

In a recent interview, Trisha opened up about her experience filming Varsham (2004), the blockbuster that catapulted her to stardom. Directed by Shobhan, the movie demanded a grueling shooting schedule, with many scenes filmed in water.

“I spent 40 days shooting drenched in water,” Trisha recalled. “Before the shoot began, the director informed me about the extensive rain sequences. But I didn’t anticipate just how intense it would be. The songs and scenes were all soaked quite literally!”
