Samantha, who won the FilmFare award for her performance in the Telugu film Ye Maya Chesave, is happy to have received the coveted award. The actress says that the credit for the award should go to Trisha as she admired her as the role model in portraying Jessie in Ye Maya Chesave. Interestingly, Ye Maya Chesave is the Telugu version of Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya that had Trisha and Silambarasan in the lead.
Samantha says that she visualized Trisha’s performance in VTV and reprised the role. She also thanked Gautham Menon, the film’s director, for giving the character of her life.
It may be mentioned here that Gautham is now directing the Hindi version of Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya with Amy Jackson in the lead.
