Now the moment has come and that too in a big way. Three movies and a dream debut opposite Akshay Kumar, that too directed by my mentor Priyadarshan,' she says with a vivacious smile.

Asked will she bid adieu to south Indian films now, Trisha said: 'No. I have done over 30 films in various south Indian languages. Why do you think I should say bye to my native?'

She also rubbished rumours that she had pulled out of 'Aadukalam'.

'I am extremely happy to be part of the movie directed by Vettrimaran. However, if the dates allotted for the film will clash with my Hindi movies, I will have to rethink about it. But as of now, the rumours are baseless,' she said.

The actress is optimistic about stiff competition in Bollywood.

'There is competition everywhere. It keeps one going. When I entered southern film industry, Simran and Jyothika were ruling the roost. Competition makes you give your best. And I am ready for the game,' she said.
