An image allegedly showing a photograph of actress Trisha placed inside the Karaikudi Municipal Council hall has gone viral on social media. The image, which also features the Polimer News logo, has been shared widely with the claim that a councillor in Karaikudi installed the actress’s photo inside the council chambers.
Social media users are circulating an image claiming that a photograph of actress Trisha has been placed inside the Karaikudi Municipal Council Hall in Tamil Nadu.
A social media user shared the video with a caption that reads, “Actress Trisha’s picture at Karaikudi Municipality Council. What else do we have to see? Watching all this gives us a headache.”
SouthCheck found that the claim is false. The viral image is edited and does not show any real photograph of the actress being placed in the council hall.
A search for the image on Polimer News’s social media pages led to a YouTube video uploaded by Polimer News on June 24, 2026, titled, “Trisha photo please.. Councillor Thug Life in council.. video viral on social media. (Translated from Tamil)
In the original video, councillors from the AIADMK and DMK were seen competing to place photographs of former Chief Ministers J Jayalalithaa, Edappadi K Palaniswami, and MK Stalin in the council hall. During this discussion, an independent councillor from Karaikudi jokingly suggested that a photo of actress Trisha should also be placed.
However, the video does not show any photograph of Trisha actually being placed in the hall.
Moreover, on closely observing the photo, we can see various discrepancies. For instance, the hand of the elderly man is blurred and looks like it has multiple fingers. Also, a hand can be seen holding Trisha’s photo separately, indicating it was superimposed onto the original frame. A separate hand is also holding the woman in the pink saree.
Additionally, the image was tested using the Fake Image Detector online tool, Photoshop Detector, which confirmed that the image had been altered. The result generated reads, “Possible computer-generated or modified image detected.”
Thus, we can ascertain that the original video shows only a humorous suggestion by a councillor, with no actual placement of Trisha’s photograph. The claim that such a photo was installed is completely false.
