Global boycott of Asin's films likely‎

In a letter addressed to the South Indian Film Artistes Association (SIFAA), the Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America (FeTNA) has announced a complete boycott of Asin’s films to condemn the actress’ visit to Sri Lanka to attend the IIFA awards. It has also urged the SIFAA to consider stringent action against the actress.

Asin is currently working in a Hindi film 'Ready', apart from a Tamil movie with Vijay, 'Kaaval Kadhal'.

“Efforts are on to enforce this boycott in Canada and America,” said the July 25 letter by Dr Pazhani Sundaram, president of FeTNA, addressed to the SIFAA . The letter also states that the federation is keeping track of the stance of all the actors on the Tamil issue, and is considering which actors’ films have to be boycotted. Over 30 Tamil associations abroad are part of this federation.

Actor Sarath Kumar, president, SIFAA, could not be reached for comment.

Asin to star opposite John Abraham

The London Dreams girl Asin is reported to be the heroine opposite John Abraham in the Hindi remake of master filmmaker Gautham Menon’s super hit cop story Khakha Khakha (Tamil), starring Suriya and his actress-wife Jyotika.

The shooting of this untitled Hindi remake is all set to begin in May under the direction of Nishikant Kamath. The original director Gautam Menon was originally expected to direct the Hindi version, but he stepped out of the project for some reasons.

“Although Genelia was considered for the remake, they dropped the idea as John had already worked with Genelia in Hook Ya Crook and they wanted a fresh pairing. Asin has already worked with Vipul Shah in London Dreams so they decided to sign her. The film is important for John at this stage of his career as his last three films Ashayein, Hook ya Crook and Abbas Tyrewala’s next film have been put on hold for various reasons,” a source close to the makers was quoted as saying.

Asin was first choice of Asutosh's Movie opposite Abhishek

She might be the latest entrant in B-Town, but this does not stop this southern beauty to reject big banners if the roles offered to her are not up to the mark.

CHECK OUT: Asin-LONDON DREAMS is an ideal birthday gift

According to latest reports Asin refused to do a film with Ashutosh Gowarikar after she found out that the role offered to her in the film is not going to make a difference to her career in Bollywood. The fact that Asin's last film LONDON DREAMS evoked a lukewarm response at the box-office has made Asin a bit more careful about the kind of roles she has to play in order to secure her career in the slippery lanes of Bollywood.

With Asin going the extra mile to secure her career, let's hope this sacrifice turns out to be a better bet in the long run.

Asin thotumakal Sizzles on Grazia Magazine

Asin is the cover girl for Grazia magazine’s latest issue. Asin is wearing Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 09 dress and reveals that she loves running around trees. Like the cover?
Sculpted shoulders being the norm for Fall and green one of it’s (Fall’s) hottest hues, it doesn’t surprise us to see this dress on the latest cover of Grazia’s, nor the background. Do however like the way they both came together.

We love how Grazia never shies away from using color, this cover being no different. Love the dramatic contrast between the black Louis Vuitton dress on Asin and the oh-so-green background.

Asin: Too early to talk about SRK project!

One of the most promising actress to have made a mark with her very first film, Asin, is the new flavour of the season as the hype for her second film, LONDON DREAMS (which she prefers to call her first real Hindi film), gets bigger and better with each passing day. And the media too is having a field day as Asin is going all out to promote her film and is handling it very well, a trait which she seems to have learnt from her GHAJINI co-star, Aamir Khan.

CHECK OUT: LONDON DREAMS-Salman 'interested' & in prime form!

Despite this there are speculations in the press and media about Asin's next few projects and since she has already worked with the two Khans, Aamir and Salman, so naturally rumours are rife of a possible third one with Bollywood's global super star, Shahrukh Khan. Well, the intelligent actress answered the question while talking to a fellow print media journalist.

As per Asin, right now all her focus is on her 19th film (including regional), LONDON DREAMS, and as far working with Shahrukh Khan is concerned, she feels it is too early to talk about it and she prefers neither to deny nor confirm it.

Right Asin, we will also prefer to hear it from you directly, rather than from dubious sources!

Asin's Indo-Japanese project falls through

Kamal Haasan has apparently pulled out of the big-budget Walt Disney production which also happens to be Asin's prestigious Indo-Japanese project, The 19th Step. The shelved project has now left Asin with tons of time that she has set aside not only to learn and practice the ancient art of Kalaripayattu but also to shoot for the film in Japan and Kerala.

According to sources the project has fallen through for no fault of Asin's. Says the source: "The film's producers Walt Disney and leading man Kamal Haasan have had a serious disagreement. He isn't doing the film. And if Kamal Haasan isn't doing the film, neither is Asin. She agreed to do a Tamil film at this juncture when her Hindi career has taken off, only because of Kamal Haasan whom Asin respects a lot."

At the time of writing this, The 19th Step seems as good as shelved. And Asin, inundated with offers is work-less! Unless she quickly accepts another project to fill the empty date diary.

"Asin is upset with the way the whole Indo-Japanese project was managed. After Vipul Shah's London Dreams, she said no to everything in Mumbai including Priyadarshan's De Dana Dan and Farhan Akhtar's Kartik Calling Kartik for 19th Step when Kamal Haasan, whom she respects immensely, requested her to," said a source close to the actress.

Incidentally, the number of projects with A R Rahman's music to be shelved or cancelled have just gone a 'step' ahead with 19th Step. Mani Ratnam's Lajjo and Kamal Haasan's Marmyogi were also shelved recently. And earlier Bharat Bala who was to direct 19th Step was supposed to do Taj Mahal with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Mumtaz Mahal with Rahman's music. That too got shelved.

Asin New Choice Of Playboy

Asin, who is currently filming Vipul Shah’s musical bonanza ’London Dreams’ alongside stars like Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan, admits to finding a few differences between Bollywood and Kollywood. First and foremost, the rising star believes that the South Indian industry displays a remarkable sense of punctuality. Pointing out that film units in the South start early and wrap up on schedule, Asin reveals that it is fashionable to be late to a Bollywood set. The starlet was also introduced to the concept of assistant directors whose main purpose was to monitor her presence on the set.

Though the entire ’Ghajini’ (with Aamir Khan) unit was from the South, ’London Dreams’ has her working with a complete Bollywood unit. The actress reveals that when the cast and crew were shooting in London and Paris, they were given a bound script, shoot schedule, a detailed weather report, location map and reporting time. Also different is Mumbai’s crowd according to the actress. Calling them “cool”, the actress says she’s been enjoying her every moment in Bollywood.

Asin displays two different shades in ‘London Dreams’

Newcomer Asin portrays two different looks for her ‘London Dreams’. At home, she is a docile conservative South Indian girl. But put her on stage and she transforms into a cool chic rock singer with a guitar in her hands and a song on her lips. Though it has not been officially disclosed by producer-director Vipul Shah, it is reliably learnt that Asin even gets to sing in her voice and play the guitar in ‘London Dreams’.
Meanwhile, getting her big break in Bollywood, Asin has moved bag and baggage with her parents to pursue a full-time career in Hindi cinema saying bye-bye to South. However, Asin says she is open to regional cinema if the script is good. The family has been staying in a rented place in the suburbs for a year now.
But now, Asin is ready to buy her own place in Bandra. “We’re looking at some places. And we’ll zero in on the place we want soon.”
About her role in London Dreams Asin is totally tightlipped. “All I can say is, it’s something I’ve never played before. In fact I think it’s a role never seen in Indian cinema. Beyond that I can’t talk about it. But I’m very excited about both Ghajini and London Dreams. I’ve a long list of criteria for selecting a role beginning with the director, banner and co-star and ending with the cinematographer…I want them all to be just right. Am I being greedy? Perhaps. I’m sorry. I can’t settle for anything but the best,” said Asin.
