Asin while speaking about this said," I got the opportunity to act in the Hindi film Ghajini because I had acted in the Tamil Ghajini. I have completed two Hindi films. Since I was approached to pair with Vijay in Kavalan, I came to Tamil again.

I got a different kind of role for this film. This is an important film for me. I want to act in films that have good stories. Money and language is not important for me. If I like the story, I will act. I can never forget Tamil cinema world. I grew up as an actress only here. I am interested in acting in lots of Tamil films. I like the Tamil audience very much. Now I am acting in the Hindi film Ready.This film is being released in the month of May."

Asin lost her fizz in Bollywood?

10:10 PM januram

The Ghajini girl who was the toast of the industry has been criticised by Mumbai's leading newspaper.

Asin

It seems she has lost her momentum due to her high handedness and is now desperately seeking a PR agency to refurbish her image and career.

Last year, the actress was seen more on magazine covers than films, and her public image went for a toss, after she rejected projects with hot-shot directors.
The newspaper reported: "Asin has Ready with Salman Khan releasing in May this year. However, she may or may not make the required impact because she has been left behind by Salman's Dabangg heroine Sonakshi Sinha who is the current hot rage and by girls like Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor who are more in the news than Asin."

Times are really bad for Asin, as down south, after her Kaavalan release, she has come in for criticism for bad make-up and her new pencil-thin look, which has not gone down well with her fans.

Kaavalan has just got 70 theatres

8:41 PM januram

If reports are to be believed, Kaavalan has just got 70 theatres for screening and a majority of them are just average theatres. The film’s distributor Shakthi Chidambaram wanted to release the film in at least 400 theatres but many theatre owners are not willing to screen the film as their issue with the star is not resolved yet.

Kavalan_Press_Meet_stills_photos_09

It may be recalled that the theatre owners are distraught with Vijay as his earlier films did not do well and the actor refused to take responsibility for it and compensate the losses. With just about 70 theatres willing to screen Kaavalan, which is slated to be a Pongal release, the filmmakers are contemplating their next move. Will Kaavalan finally see the light of the day during this Pongal?

Vijay-starrer Kavalan is facing one hurdle after the other with various issues plaguing the release of the film. First it was a petition filed by a distributor, Saravanan, over a breach of contract with the producer Romesh Babu.

This issue was sorted out by the parties concerned and when everyone heaved a sigh of relief that Kavalan will hit the screens as planned, the Theatre Owners’ Association threatened not to exhibit the film unless Vijay takes care of their losses suffered for screening his previous films, which were box-office duds.

The latest is a case filed by Gokulam Chit Funds claiming that the producer of Bodyguard, based on which Kavalan has been remade, has given them the remake rights. This case came up for hearing recently and the judge ordered that the film’s release cannot be stayed as sought by the petitioner Gokulam Chit Funds. The case has been posted for further hearing this Friday.

Asin in trouble?

Nadigar Sangam Secretary Radha Ravi was questioned recently on what action the Sangam would take on Asin, who had traveled to Sri Lanka, to participate in the Hindi film shooting Ready.

They also made it clear that the Tamil film industry would not cooperate with their Sri Lankan counterparts.

Vijay and Asin in Kavalkaran

4:00 AM januram

Vijay and Asin are doing for Kavalkaran (Bodyguard) in Siddique directed remake of the Malayalam hit Bodyguard.

The shoot of the film has started from Monday in Kumbakonam.

vijay asin in kaavalkaran

Once again Vijay has preferred to take an old super hit MGR- Jayalalitha film Kavalkaran (1967), as the title for his new film. After Vettaikkaran Vijay is using an MGR title again, as he believes that it has tremendous recall value among the masses.

However the title is appropriate as Vijay, a happy go lucky youth is appointed by Raj Kiran a local toughie to be his daughter Asin’s bodyguard when she goes to college. The enemies of Raj Kiran want to eliminate his daughter and our hero turns out to be her Kavalkaran!

Asin’s tete-a-tete with James Cameron

10:53 PM januram

Asin is all smiles as she is been flooded with calls from her friends in the industry after she gave that inspiring speech at “Youth Forum of the India Today Conclave 2010” in New Delhi on the topic 'Change: Idealism vs Reality'. jcasin300

She said: “Everyone is a commodity, exactly replaced by the next talented non-name. If a formula works, then it’s flogged to death, new ideas are dammed. Mediocre products will continue to be made unless someone stands up and says- I will not do it, and then be prepared for a fall out- which in the case of an actor I can say is lesser endorsements, lesser PR, lesser visibility and so called "industry friends".

aamir_asin_bday150Asin is also proud of the fact that she is the only Indian actress to have met the internationally acclaimed Oscar winning Avatar director James Cameron at the conclave and later for a discussion on movies in the evening followed by dinner. It was Aamir Khan’s birthday and a huge chocolate cake was cut.

Says Asin: “ Along with James, we all wished Aamir and helped him to cut the cake as he insisted that we put only one candle and not 45 on the cake! We had dinner together and James was pestering me throughout the evening for an autograph and in return I ragged him, asking him to break into Bollywood and he at his humourous best replied - Why not? But on one condition – No song ‘n’ dance for me! ”

Vijay &Asin- The lucky pair is back!

1:01 AM januram

The wait is over. Asin is back with a bang in Kollywood!

One of the most popular actors in Tamil cinema has agreed to be the leading lady opposite Ilayathalapathy Vijay in the Tamil remake of Malayalam Bodyguard!

asin,vijay

Sources close to Asin have confirmed that she has finally given her nod to do the Tamil remake. It will be the hat trick film for one of the most popular pair in Tamil, Vijay and Asin who are coming together after the super success of Sivakasi and Pokkiri.

The film will be directed by Siddique who did the original and produced by Sivaraju Venkatraju of Geetha Chitra International, who last made Priymanavale with Vijay in 2000.

Actually three years back when director Siddique had narrated the story to Asin she had promised to do it in Tamil, if Vijay was the hero. Asin is one person who never breaks a promise. And when Siddique after the release of Malayalam Bodyguard featuring Nayanthara and Dileep, said that he was ready with producer Raju’s backing and Vijay’s call sheet, Asin gave the green signal.

Siddique’s Bodyguard is basically a beautiful love story and the heroine is the pivot around which the film revolves. Remember that in Malayalam, Nayanthara had done a brilliant job, which is one of her best performance till date.

Please note Asin in all her interviews has made it clear that she will do a south film if she gets a good script. In a way if Asin does the role in Tamil, it will be a fantastic come back for the actress.

Asin always wanted a pan Indian presence and after all doing a movie in south will enhance her repertoire of films.

Siddique who is now reworking the script is a very happy man, because he wrote the original keeping Asin in mind. The shoot of Bodyguard in Tamil is likely to start in the middle of March in Chennai.

Asin back to kollywood

2:27 AM januram

Asin may have lost her way in Bollywood. But Kollywood still longs to take her back.

After not getting any big offers after her second Hindi film ‘London Dreams’ with Salman Khan sinking at the box office, Asin is again looking back at Kollywood.

asin kollywood actress pictures180210

In spite of her Bollywood sojourn, Asin is still the most wanted girl in south. Now the news is abuzz that quite a few big projects are lined up for Asin, waiting for her approval.

We already reported that Asin will play the lead opposite Vijay in the Tamil remake of Siddique’s Malayalam flick ‘Bodyguard’. Nayantara was the heroine in Malayalam original. This will start in March.

Another project waiting for her to take is her ‘Ghajini’ director A R Murgadoss’ next film for Red Giant Movies which will have Suriya in the lead.

Rumours also float saying Silambarasan had a meeting with Asin in Mumbai trying to convince her for his pet project ‘Vaaliban’. Another big one is ‘Jayam’ Raja’s proposed film with Vijay. ‘Jayam’ Raja is the one who introduced Asin to Tamil with M. Kumaran s/o Mahalakshmi.

Now is the biggest of all. Goutham Menon is said to be talking to Asin for his Hindi remake of ‘Kaakha Kaakha’. If it happens Asin will be working opposite the most handsome guy in Bollywood John Abraham who has been confirmed to play Suriya’s role in Hindi.

A mindboggling comeback, so to say.

Asin upset with her imposters on Orkut,

9:10 PM januram

asin hot kollywood actress pictures140809

"Hey there... Asin is using Twitter," declares the latest social networking website, and then goes on to give us gems like "I want to act in a Tamil movie" from the actress.

There's just one problem. Asin is not on Twitter... or any of the social networking websites. And she can't laugh off the impersonations any longer.

Asin has a very serious problem. She has impersonators on all the major social-networking sites. "I was ready to overlook these fake IDs using my name as long as they weren't harmful. But now the problem is getting out of hand."

The other night, a colleague had a whole long conversation with 'Asin' and called up the next day to share her excitement about what an intimate conversation they had.

"I nearly fell off my chair. I won't name this actress. But she said we shared our most intimate secrets on Facebook. I nearly fell off my chair and asked her whom did she share her secrets with because it was most certainly not me. Two days ago, a journalist came to interview me and said she got all the information on me from what I had written on Twitter. For the record, I'm not on any of the social-networking websites. Apart from my own website, I am not on the Internet for any other purpose. I started blogging even before Aamir did in August 2005,"Asin declares proudly.

Asin is aghast. "I was clubbed with Chetan Bhagat and Shashi Tharoor and put on a social networking website. But I'm not on Orkut, Facebook or Twitter. Apparently, there are lots of fake profiles."

The lies about Asin don't end at virtual reality. "It's been ages since I have had non-veg food. For all practical purposes, I'm a vegetarian. But I read this horrible report about how I love all kinds of exotic meats. I haven't been approached by PETA. But that doesn't mean I've to go the other way."

Asin’s popularity and career graph is soaring high

4:16 AM januram

asin hot kollywood actress pcitures 090709

Asin ’s popularity and career graph is soaring high with each passing day that the actress is being roped in not only for film and ad assignments but for social welfare activities too. The latest in the line is an invitation from the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to promote vegetarianism.

However, the actress declined the offer as she is a strict non vegetarian and includes non veg diet almost every day. Though the likes of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor and Manisha Koirala have promoted vegetarianism in the past, Asin’s refusal to be a part of the campaign seems to be valid.

Asin says Dad comes first

2:35 AM januram

asin

Anybody who has seen Asin at a public event is aware of the rapport she shares with her dad, Joseph Thottumkal, or JT, as he is popularly known. The two are found together forever, with her daddy dear guiding her in as many ways as possible. In fact, her dad, a businessman in his own right, was largely responsible for the actress to shape her career properly. So imagine Asin’s chagrin when she is told that her father is suffering from acute appendicitis and needs to undergo surgery soon!


The actress cancelled all her film commitments and rushed to a hospital in Andheri to be at her dad’s bedside, to make sure he is well. But JT, being the strict professional that he is, insisted on Asin resuming shoot for her films, which he said she should not stall for his ill health. The actress, unable to refute daddy dear’s advice, has been dubbing for her films and taking care of her dad, in what has become a very demanding schedule for her.Asin is currently working in London Dreams, pairing with Salman Khan.
