Chennai, Nov 6 (IANS): Tamil actress Trisha, who has played one of the pivotal roles in director Mani Ratnam's magnum opus 'Ponniyin Selvan 1', was conspicuous by her absence at the Thanksgiving Meet organised by the unit.

On Saturday, the unit of 'Ponniyin Selvan1' had organised a massive thanksgiving meet to celebrate the occasion of the film going on to emerge a blockbuster.
