2. Hey Jude
A light-hearted romantic drama film, ‘Hey Jude’ is all set to rock the screen with Trisha in the female lead and Nivin Pauly in the male lead. Director Shyamaprasad says the two leads are oddballs with Nivin playing Jude, who is a peculiar character and is at odds with the world around him. Also, Trisha’s character Crystal, lives in Goa, and like Jude, is a bit of an oddball herself. The movie is about the interesting situations that happen because of their relationship, and how love and understanding transform Jude’s life. Almost 3/4th of the movie is set in Goa with some parts in Kochi. Mukesh, Pratap Pothen, and Neena Kurup are part of the supporting cast. After Jessie, this is the second time we hope to see the Mallu side of Trisha!

6. 1818
1818 is an upcoming bilingual Indian thriller film directed by Rithun Sagar being shot in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously. Inspired by the events of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the film features Trisha in the lead role, with Brahmanandam and Rajendra Prasad in supporting roles. The venture began production in May 2015, though Trisha’s addition in 2017 prompted the reworking of the script. Newcomer director Rithun Sagar said it would be an “edge-of-the-seat thriller which takes place inside a five-star hotel”, where the story starts “at 6 pm and ends at 6 am the next day”. The project was launched last year with Abhinaya, Prerna Khanna, Suman, Brahmanandam, Ramesh Thilak and Nalini revealed to be playing important roles. Production began in July 2015, with Abhinaya cast as a hotel receptionist and Suman appearing as an international don. Ramesh Thilak revealed that the film had been reworked and that he would play a hotel worker and Trisha would play a guest at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.
