Interesting facts

Lesa Lesa, also referred to as Laysa Laysa, is a 2003 Indian romantic comedy Tamil-language film directed by Priyadarshan. The film stars Shaam and Trisha, while Vivek, Radha Ravi and Sreenivasan play supporting roles. Madhavan makes a special appearance. The music was composed by Harris Jayaraj. The film is a remake of the 1998 Malayalam film Summer in Bethlehem, which was written by Ranjith.

Production

12B film producer Vikram Singh hired Shaam and composer Harris Jayaraj again for his next venture directed by veteran Priyadarshan. The story of the film was partially adapted from the 1998 Malayalam film Summer in Bethlehem, which was written by Ranjith, and Priyadarshan developed a new screenplay.

Lesa Lesa became the first film Trisha had signed, and she recalled that she had been trying to avoid films until she finished college but Priyadarshan's offer was "irresistible". She revealed she had no idea about the script of Lesa Lesa when she agreed to do the film and only later did Shaam and her have a one-hour narration of the script.

In order to concentrate on the project, Vikram Singh briefly shelved his other venture, Sivakumar's Acham Thavir starring Madhavan and Jyothika. The team had a forty-day schedule at Ooty, beginning at 6 and winding up at 6. The film was initially set to release in the Diwali season of 2002 but was delayed. The film was to release on Pongal of 2003, but was delayed again.
