A long wait for Kannada audiences

Trisha made her film debut way back in 1999, but it was only in 2013 that she finally got around to debuting in Sandalwood

Debut with the Power Star

Trisha chose to step into Kannada cinema with a film opposite the late Power Star, Puneeth Rajkumar

'Power'ful entry

Trisha's Kannada film debut was the remake of the Telugu hit Dookudu, called Power

The love interest

Trisha was roped in to play Puneeth's love interest in the film, a role that Samantha did in the original

Festive release

The film came to theatres for Ganesha Chaturthi and was a commercial success

Good start

Although Trisha's Kannada film debut gave her a good start, she has not returned since

Reunion with Puneeth

The actress was set to return to Kannada cinema yet again opposite Puneeth

A film with a difference

Trisha had been signed up to play the lead in Dvitva, a film that Lucia fame Pawan Kumar was to do with Puneeth

Unfulfilled wish

Puneeth's tragic and untimely demise in October 2021, though, put the brakes on that project

Will Trisha ever come back?

It is not clear if Pawan will make Dvitva at some point, or if Trisha will still be on board
