Trisha says working with Vijay in Leo was like coming home: ‘It’s exactly what Lokesh wanted to capitalise on’

Trisha is currently experiencing a wave of success, having featured in two major hits this year: Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: II and Vijay’s Leo. In a recent interview, Trisha discussed her working relationship with Vijay and why she finds her comfort zone when collaborating with ‘Thalapathy’.

Reflecting on the comfort and rapport they’ve developed over the years, Trisha told The Hindu, “Honestly, when you have done these many films with a particular person, there’s a certain comfort level that you have built over the years. For a decade now, people have kept asking when they would see us together again on-screen. I’m happy it happened like this, because I feel that little bit of extra intrigue and hype was also there as we were reuniting after so many years.”

She added, “I first met Vijay when I was 19 or 20! So, when you have been friends with someone for over 20 years, and you work with them again, it feels like actually coming back home. That easy equation between us persists, and it’s exactly what Lokesh wanted to capitalise upon in Leo.”
