Asin not my rival: Trisha

Trisha, who is all set to open her innings in Bollywood with Akshay Kumar's 'Kattha Meetha', says her entry into Hindi films has nothing to do with her so called "rivalry" with Asin.

"I neither wanted frantically to do a Hindi film nor do I treat Asin as my competitor. All I'm concerned about is the films I'm starring in; I hardly have the time to check and monitor others' career," Trisha says. The rumourmills in Kollywood say the talented duo are fiercely fighting for supremacy with each other and Asin's smashing debut in Bollywood has prompted Trisha to look for openings in Hindi.

"Some people are spreading rumours that my Hindi film effort is to keep Asin in check... Akshay was very impressed by my performance in 'Abhiyum Naanum' and wanted to cast me in his home production," Trisha makes it clear.
