Ahmed gets Trisha's nod to act with Jiiva

Trisha and Jiiva are coming together for the first time in director I. Ahmed's 'Endrendrum Punnagai'.

The two have been in the industry for a long time but they have had no opportunity to share the screen space before. When Ahmed approached her to play opposite Jiiva in his new film, Trisha took time to give her consent. She has already two films in hand _ one a Telugu film and the other is Vishal-starrer 'Samaran'.

Ahmed's version is she seemed keen to be part of his film with Jiiva, but she wanted time to make sure she had the dates to spare time for it.

She has now signed on the dotted line and Ahmed is going ahead with his plans to launch the project with Trisha and Jiiva in summer.

Reports quoted Trisha as saying that she found the script interesting and there would be romance and a lot of fun for her fans.

'Endrendrum Punnagai' does not fit into any particular genre. It will be an entertaining romantic musical with a liberal dose of humour dished out by Santhanam. The story is about the relationship between father and son. Director Ahmed has to do some exercise to choose the father character and he has finally decided on Nasser.

Ahmed is also considering Lisa Hayden for a crucial role.

Many of the scenes will be shot in New York and Seytchelles as the film has "a very contemporary script", says Ahmed. His last film was 'Vaamanan' starring Priya Anand and Jai.

Harris Jayaraj will be the composer for 'Endrendrum Punnagai'. Click the Movie button below for more info:
