Whole bunch of screen tests, looks tests and pretty much zeroed in on something thankfully has been accepted and worked with.”

When asked, if Kundavai is one of her best roles ever, to this, Trisha said, “One of my best roles for sure. I mean a lot of people have said that and I have been very proud of some of the characters that I played in the past but it definitely goes down as one of the top 5.
