Director
Govi,
who
has
helmed
Trisha's
upcoming
film
Nayagi,
has
said
the
Yennai
Arindhaal
actress
is
the
real
hero
of
the
film,
which
releases
in
theatres
on
Friday
(July
8).
"Although
I
have
two
male
leads,
Trisha
is
the
hero
of
the
film.
She
worked
very
hard
on
this
project,
shed
weight
and
underwent
complete
makeover
to
play
her
part.
I
don't
think
any
leading
actress
would
compromise
so
much
for
the
sake
of
a
film," Govi
told
IANS.
Trisha
will
be
seen
playing
a
teen
in
the
flashback
portions
of
the
film.
"In
one
of
her
avatars,
she
plays
a
16-18
year
old
character.
I
didn't
have
to
tell
her
how
she
should
look
for
the
character.
When
I
narrated
the
story,
she
understood
what
was
expected
from
her
to
do
justice
to
the
role,"
he
said.
Nayagi
is
a
retro
horror-comedy,
according
to
its
director.
"Trisha
will
be
mostly
seen
in
the
1980s
look.
The
story
will
go
back
and
forth
in
time.
The
film
is
98
percent
comedy
and
two
percent
horror,"
said
Govi.
"We
shot
the
film
simultaneously
in
Telugu
and
Tamil.
It's
not
easy
to
complete
a
bilingual
in
48
days
but
Trisha
ensured
that
the
project
was
not
delayed
at
any
cost.
For
her
role
in
the
1980s,
it'd
take
her
easily
five
hours
to
wear
costumes
and
make-up.
Nevertheless,
she
never
complained
or
threw
tantrums.
She
was
very
understanding
and
patient
throughout
the
course
of
the
shoot,"
he
added.
Trisha
has
also
lent
her
voice
for
one
of
the
songs
in
the
movie,
which
also
stars
Ganesh
Venkatraman,
Jayaprakash
and
Sentrayan
in
prominent
roles.
"She
sang
a
three-minute
promo
song.
One
minute
of
the
song
will
be
used
as
the
title
track
and
the
rest
of
it
will
feature
in
the
film,"
Govi
said.
