The news that Trisha Krishnan was approached for a massive project worth ₹12 crore funded by Udhayanidhi Stalin once again sent waves through social media.
Social media also covers the political disputes between Vijay and Udhayanidhi Stalin, as rumours continue to circulate about Trisha and Vijay dating, with some details. Vijay appears to have another Tamil film or is in a digital project under Udhayanidhi Stalin's ownership.
Trisha herself has not disclosed the ₹12 crore figure or the DTC team or Udhayanidhi, sparking a discussion in the Tamil community about cinema and whether anyone has any political or business interest in the proposed deal.
Others fear that such a move would provoke new fan wars for the country and backlash against Vijay and the political caste linked, for example, to Udhayanidhi Stalin at large. Trisha Krishnan is one of the leading talents brought by the top Tamil and Telugu movies in recent years.
Not just her films, but also rumours that she had been friendly with Vijay for the last year. Based on several public and private appearances and their connection on social media, there has long been speculation surrounding the relationship between Vijay and Trisha.
Both have cleared up the rumours, but the two are concerning to social media watchers. Vijay’s ambitions in Tamil Nadu are also being watched more closely than ever, and his base is under increased public scrutiny, especially for the confrontations he reportedly had with the leaders of the ruling DMK party, like Udhayanidhi Stalin.
There’s more to it than most people realise, given the chatter about Tamil film, celebrity, and state politics. We have grown so used to casting rumours that it's actually a sort of political tool, and fans are writing their own stories. Insiders claim the plan will take official word before much solid is agreed on as the allegations spread.
And instead of being too caught up in some speculation about it, they do not need to be involved in speculation on whether or not the plan can be financially grounded. The pitch for ₹12 crore went viral on fan pages, although there is no evidence proving it.
