If we take a glance at Tamil film industry, we can find only a few actress, who has made big in Kollywood. Shreya Saran, Asin Thottumkal, Trisha Krishnan and Nayantara are counted among the top Kollywood leading ladies. But most of them have now extended their reach to Bollywood and other film industries. So, they prefer to sign selective projects in Kollywood.
Trisha has made her Bollywood debut with the Akshay Kumar starrer movie Khatta Meetha this year. Though the film did not do well at the Box Office, Trisha got noticed by the filmmakers for her wonderful performance.
Coming back to Asin, she is doing quite a good in Bollywood following her successful debut opposite Aamir Khan in Ghajini. As a result, she has become too expensive for Tamil filmmakers to cast her in their films.
On the other hand, filmmakers prefer to sign the experienced heroines in their movies because these ladies are acquainted with the format of commercial cinema.
