May 18, 2010 Prateik paired up with south hottie Trisha? Posted by PRAVEEN KANNA at 7:31 AM

The pretty actress of south Trisha debuts in Bollywood with 'Khatta Meetha' opposite Akshay Kumar. She was particular about her debut and did not accept any other film in Hindi until she completes ‘Khatta Meeta’. Now that the film is almost over and Trisha has accepted her next big offer.

It had been news that south filmmaker Gautham Menon will be directing his Tamil blockbuster 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaya' in Hindi. The original had Silambarasan and Trisha in lead and it was a big hit especially for its music, which was done by AR Rahman.

The director had been looking for the right producer for the Hindi version. Many top B-town producers from Rakesh Roshan, Balaji to Vashu Bhagnani were trying to buy the Hindi remake rights of this film.

But the rights have now gone to the biggest bidder - IN Entertainment (INE), part of Hinduja Group. Gautham will also co-produce it.

The cast has not been decided, though Prateik Babbar is being considered to play the hero’s role and Trisha might also do the Hindi one.

Gautham wanted to use the same tunes of AR Rahman for Hindi as well but the BGM will be reworked again for Hindi as the story is set to happen in Goa instead of Kerala.

Gautham Menon, who had earlier directed the Madhavan-Dia Mirza-Saif starrer, ‘Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein’, was going slowly on his Hindi offers. He even refused to direct ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ in Hindi which is now being directed by Nishikant Kamath
