One of the biggest screen pairs in Tamil is Vijay and Trisha.

The duo had a grand success in Gilli. The pairing is sensational and their on screen chemistry is magical.

They repeated themselves in Thirupachi. Again, it was top-drawer stuff.

So when Vijay’s father decided to make Aathi, he had no problem in choosing a heroine for his son on screen.

Vijay himself is pretty chuffed with their on-screen magnetic appeal.

Vijay recently said that when distributors were sounded on whom he should pair with they unanimously chose Trisha’s name.

Vijay, ever the dignified gentleman, leaves the credit to Trisha. ‘All praise should go to her,’ he says in typical self-effacing style.

With so much hype, little wonder Aathi has so much expectation riding on it.
