Flown the coup, flown in the, no spring chicken
With Katrina Kaif having flown the coup, Akshay Kumar has no choice but to keep experimenting. For his July release Khatta Meetha he has flown in the Southern spice Trisha Krishnan.
Trisha is no spring chicken. She has around 35 odd films under her belt in Tamil and Telugu. Yup, she's on top of her game in Tamil Nadu. "So, honestly the incentive to try out Bollywood films is only there if the film is exceptional," says the sorted girl, who is on her way to Monte Carlo right this minute. She's doing a Tamil film with Kamal Haasan and R Madhavan; and she'll be "at sea" for at least 45 days.
Please explain to me the highlighted parts.
I know "no spring chicken" means "no longer young" but in this context it doesn't seem fit as the next sentence has to do nothing with "no longer young". Similarly, I know "flown in" means "to fly in plane" but here it doesn't seem fit.
