Blockbuster movies that Trisha rejected; but made her a south queen

Actress Trisha is celebrating her birthday on May 4. Turning 39 years old today, Trisha is one of the most prominent actresses and also fondly called as South Queen. She has acted in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films, though the actress has not given major or mega blockbuster female centric movies, she has acted in movies that have impressed the audience well. The actress has also rejected a few blockbuster movies in Tamil and Telugu, which paved the way for her to choose better movies as well as few movies she missed in her acting career.
