Trisha Krishnan donates lifelike mechanical elephant called Gaja, vegan meals to temples in Tamil Nadu
In a statement released by People For Cattle In India (PFCI), Trisha spoke of the reason why she donated Gaja to the temples. She said, 'I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of this beautiful moment. Devotion shines brightest when it's rooted in compassion. Welcoming a mechanical elephant into our temple traditions is a celebration of kindness, innovation, and culture.'
She also added, 'We are honouring our heritage in a way that brings no harm, only harmony. This gesture stands as a proud symbol of progress, here faith and empathy walk hand in hand. I hope it inspires many more to embrace a future where love leads our rituals, and no being suffers in the name of tradition.' Vegan meal sponsored by Trisha
The PFCI posted pictures and videos of Gaja on X (formerly Twitter), thanking Trisha for making the donation. They wrote, 'Thank you, @trishtrashers for working with us. Gaja signals a new beginning—where real elephants are free, and traditions continue at Sri Ashtalinga Athisesha Selva Vinayagar and Sri Ashtabhuja Athisesha Varahi Amman temples in Tamil Nadu.'
They also shared a picture of the meal Trisha had arranged for devotees, along with a sign board that reads, 'Just like our lifelike mechanical elephant promotes kindness to real elephants, vegan food shows respect to animals by leaving them off our plates. There are no meat, dairy, eggs, or other animal products, just delicious plant-based dishes that are better for animals, the planet and our health.'
Trisha starred in Vidaamuyarchi, Good Bad Ugly and Thug Life this year. She will soon star in Vishwambhara and Karuppu.

Coolie box office collection day 3 (updated live): Rajinikanth-starrer refuses to slow down, races towards ₹150 crore
Rajinikanth's latest release Coolie is going strong at the box office on the third day of its release. After two bumper days, including a solid Independence Day holiday, Coolie entered the true weekend with no signs of slowing down. According to Sacnilk, the film has earned ₹15.90 crore net in India by 4 pm on Saturday. Coolie box office collection day 3: Rajinikanth's film is inching closer to the ₹ 150-crore mark. Coolie box office update Coolie's three-day domestic net haul now stands at a formidable ₹135.65 crore. With impressive showing overseas, its global haul is now in excess of ₹250 crore. The film already became the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025 on Friday, when it overtook Ajith Kumar-starrer Good Bad Ugly. Now, it has a chance to climb further in the all-time rankings of Tamil films. Only three Tamil films have ever crossed ₹600 crore worldwide, and two of them (2.0 and Jailer) starred Rajinikanth in the lead. The third is Vijay's Leo. Going by Coolie's pace at the box office, it should target that ₹600-crore mark, and maybe even hope to topple 2.0 from the top spot. Nagarjuna on Coolie's success In a statement, Nagarjuna, who played the antagonist Simon in the film, reflected on the film's performance. "We knew we were part of something special, and the energy around the film is an indicator of the same. The unanimous response to my role has been overwhelming. It's a reminder that great cinema is built on collaboration, chemistry, and the thrill of giving audiences something they will remember long after the credits roll. From the sets to the theatres, Coolie has been a celebration of legacy and reinvention; records had to break, and they did," the Telugu star said. Apart from Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna, Coolie also stars Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Soubin Shahir. The film also includes a cameo by Aamir Khan.
