Sep 4, 2011 PS

If sources are to be believed, Trisha will soon debut in Sandalwood with a film titled 'CM', starring Shivaraj kumar.

Says the film's producer and director Raghu Ram "The film could depict a common man's rise to the post of a chief minister. Buzz is that Trisha is likely to play the chief minister of a neighbouring state and the film will chronicle the budding relationship between both the heads of the states,".

Apparently, Anushka was the initial choice for the role, but the actress had no dates to spare. That's when Trisha was approached. " Trisha's remuneration package is in the `80-`85 lakh bracket. The producer is trying to negotiate with her, but it does seem that her presence in the film is almost confirmed,'' adds the director.

The film, meanwhile, will be a bilingual, and will be shot simultaneously in both Tamil and Kannada. while Shivanna will essay the lead in the Kannada version, Action King Arjun is likely to be the protagonist in Tamil.
