Trisha moved out of the Malayalam film titled Hero at the last moment forcing the director to look out for a suitable replacement. He immediately signed up Shriya for the role. Trisha decided to opt out of Hero because her dates were likely to clash with that of Samaran, starring Vishal in the lead.

She is to fly down to Bangkok for the second schedule of Samaran next month and hence opted out of Hero, which has Prithviraj as the main lead.

What is Trisha’s loss has turned out to be Shriya’s gain!
