Trisha lapped up the project for 80 lakhs

In less than few days of Nayan having been shown the door from the Lingusamy directed Payya, Trisha bagged the project and is all set to star in the movie. It is learnt that Nayan demanded a crore for the movie and refused any negotiations whatsoever. The producers, on the other hand, were ready to shell out 75 lakhs on her pay check.

This tug of war eventually ended with the producers finding a replacement for Nayan. Last heard, Trisha lapped up the project for 80 lakhs and signed in the contract papers giving away the required dates to Tirupathy pictures.

Payya is expected to kick start soon and it would be Karthi’s third venture after the long-pending Selvaraghavan directed Aayirathil Oruvan.
