"Ileana is my good friend" Trisha

Trisha, the former No 1 of Telugu, has now shifted her attention to Tamil. Her plans are working out very well in Tamil. She now has three films with leading heroes in Kollywood, but the actress says that she still is very much interested in getting offers from Telugu too.

She also is very well aware that her biggest competition, as far as Telugu is concerned, is from Ileana.

"You need competition to motivate you to do well. You can't run a race all by yourself, can you? In order to bring out the best in you, you need to accept a variety of roles. Only if you are willing to experiment with your image will you be able to maintain your popularity.

"Ileana is a good friend of mine. She is an excellent actress. Competition is bound to be there. The trick lies in not taking it seriously and doing your job instead. I'm concentrating on doing my job properly. That's the only way you could succeed," she says.

After Shriya, it is Ileana now who's Trisha's good friend!
