Actress Trisha took to X to share pictures of a defamation notice she sent to AIADMK member A V Raju last week. The statement refers to him talking to the press recently and claiming that what he said about Trisha was taken out of context. In the legal notice, Trisha’s lawyers asked him to compensate her, though the actor blurred out the amount.
Raju has also been asked not to issue any more defamatory statements about Trisha and to take steps to remove all the articles published on various publications and social media, apart from tendering an unconditional apology to her 24 hours after he receives the notice.
The notice also claimed that failure to do that would result in her proceeding with criminal and civil action against Raju. It also stated that he would be liable for all costs after that. Given that the notice was sent to him, it remains to be seen if Raju will speak to the press again.
AV Raju, recently expelled from AIADMK, alleged that Trisha was brought to a resort on the insistence of an MLA for a particular amount of money. Responding to his allegations on X, Trisha had written, “It's disgusting to repeatedly see low lives and despicable human beings who will stoop down to any level to gain attention. Rest assured, necessary and severe action will be taken. Anything that needs to be said and done henceforth will be from my legal department.”
On the work front, Trisha will return to Telugu cinema after years with Chiranjeevi co-starrer ‘Vishwambhara,’ directed by Vassishta of ‘Bimbisara’ fame. She will soon be seen in Mani Ratnam’s ‘Thug Life’ with Kamal Haasan, apart from Vidaa Muyarchi with Ajith Kumar. She is also shooting for films called ‘Ram’ and ‘Identity’ in Malayalam.
