Athadu, starring Trisha and Mahesh Babu, is an all-time favorite. Despite its average theatrical run, it became a sensation on television, consistently garnering impressive TRP ratings on Star Maa.
Athadu's comedy tracks are a riot, and Trisha and Mahesh Babu's chemistry is spot-on. Trisha shines as a mischievous village girl pining for her brother-in-law's love.

They haven't shared screen space since. In an interview, Trisha made an interesting comment about Mahesh Babu, saying she felt guilty while working with him.
When asked about Mahesh Babu, Trisha said, "Mahesh is one of my favorite heroes. Despite being a huge superstar, he's very respectful and makes you feel comfortable. Not many know this, but I've known Mahesh for a long time. He was in Chennai during his college days, and we had mutual friends. That's how we met. We had no idea we'd become actors back then; it was just a 'hi, bye' friendship. Mahesh is a hard worker. He'd be on set from morning till 10 pm. Seeing his dedication made me feel guilty."
She added, "He wouldn't even go to his caravan. He'd sit in front of the monitor and observe every scene, whether it involved me, the comedians, or anyone else." Trisha remains a busy artist with offers opposite star heroes. She's currently working on Vishwambhara, a socio-fantasy film with Chiranjeevi, directed by Vashista.
