Actress Priya Anand, known for her work in "English Vinglish" and "Arima Nambi", has been roped in for a special cameo in the upcoming Tamil romantic-comedy "Trisha Illana Nayantara".

"We were actually looking for a beautiful and versatile artist to play this role. Our unanimous choice was Priya Anand, and she had brought gallons of energy into our vibrant unit," the film's director Adhik Ravichandran told IANS.

The film stars composer-turned-actor G.V. Prakash Kumar, Manisha Yadav and Anandhi in lead roles. Veteran actress Simran Bagga will be seen essaying an important role.

Ravichandran also said that Priya will not be grooving to an item number, but will feature in a few crucial scenes in the movie.
