Tamannaah is in Theni shooting the climax scenes for her prestigious Kanden Kadhalai, a remake of Jab We Met.

The heat and sultry weather has taken a toll on the actress as she was keeping unwell and has just recovered from a flu.

We caught up with the vivacious actress in between shots for this quick chat

Newspapers have reported that you have done a French kiss with Bharath for Kanden Kadhalai?
(Laughs) That’s really interesting. Actually, we shot this so-called climax scene yesterday and it was like any normal day at work. Sorry to disappoint everyone but we never shot such a scene, which is there in the original script.

So how was that scene shot?
When Kannan sir, my director came with the idea of remaking Jab We Met with me, I had told him that I am excited to be a part of this remake, if the lip-to-lip kissing scene is avoided and he promised me. So, there was no confusion about it and we shot the scene yesterday and like in all films, I kissed Bharath on his cheeks and forehead.

You have been keeping unwell?
Everyone on the sets including my director, hero and assistant directors were having flu and I too caught it. Now I am ok.

Is Kollywood losing one more actress to Bollywood?

Yes seems to be the answer as, Trisha one of the top actress in south Indian cinema has signed a film opposite the handsome hunk ‘Khiladi’ Akshay Kumar.

This film tentatively titled Khatta Meeta will be directed by Priyadarshan, who had introduced Trisha seven years back with Lesa Lesa in Tamil.

The shooting will start from November 2009 and Akshay Kumar is producing the film under his Hari Om banner in association with Baba films.

Trisha had a long innings in Tamil and has been featured opposite all top heroes except seniors like Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan.

In Telugu, she is one of the most saleable actors who have done films with all young guns including megastar Chiranjeevi.

About her Hindi entry, Trisha says: “A lot of offers were coming my way, but I was waiting for the right film and I could not say ‘No’ to Priyan who is my mentor of sorts. I respect him as a film maker and he is also a good family friend. I don’t intend to move to Bollywood, but is definitely game to give it a try”.

However, a source close to the actress says that she has signed a three-film deal with Akshay Kumar’s Hari Om production company. It is also said that Trisha was the personal choice of the actor who saw a DVD of her Telugu and Tamil films and he confirmed her as his heroine.

Lokesh Bali from Mumbai will be personally taking care of Trisha’s grooming and publicity in Mumbai media. The buzz is that she has a very good role with equal footage with the hero and the actress will be completing her four assignments in South before taking the big leap to Bollywood.
