Billa 2007 – Trisha and Shreya vie for honors

Dec 28, 2006

Looks like there is stiff competition between the lead ladies of Tamil cinema to be cast in the remake of old Rajini hit Billa, which is titled Billa 2007. The late 80s hit which starred Rajini, Praveena, and Sripriya will be remade with Ajith in the lead. Though Nayanthara has been finalized for the role done by Praveena, the other role is yet to be taken.

News has it that Trisha and Shreya are eyeing the hot spot and are in constant contact with the crew. Shreya stands a better chance this time since Trisha has already been roped in for Ajith’s next Kreedom. However, Shreya’s market has skyrocketed ever since she starred in Sivaji and her paycheck is scraping the borders of Rs. 40 lakhs. Sources state that Shreya could lose the opportunity if she shows no interest in slashing her paycheck. The other contenders for the role are Thamiraparani Banu and Reema Sen.

Billa’s shoots will commence from February. The movie is produced by Ananda Suresh and directed by Vishnu Vardhan.
