Trisha first made her debut in films when she was offered a small cameo in the film Jodi. However, the first movie in which she signed up to enact the role of the leading lady was Priyadarshan's Leysa Leysa. A series of flops marked the beginning of her career, such as Manasellam,and Alai, but Trisha Krishnan was well suited for her role opposite Surya in Mounam Pesiyadhe.
