REFUGEE

With her entry into Bollywood it seemed that Asin would hardly come back to Kollywood. But recently she expressed her desire to come back to Tamil industry. Although she is busy with her schedules in Bollywood till next year, she wish to do more films in Tamil too. The actress was recently seen in the State to receive the Kalaimamani Award from Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. Interacting with media channels on this occasion, Asin said, “I am so elated for TN Government honoring me with the prestigious title of ‘Kalaimamani. Right now, I am much busy with Bollywood projects but would surely accept Tamil offers, if there are good scripts….”
The actress also came up with a rigid statement that her recent release London Dreams won her rave reviews. Regrettably, the film was not that noticed at box office and film critics made their open comments that Asin hasn’t got much prominence in the film. This may be a reason for her come

With back-to-back hits like 'Ghajini' and 'London Dreams', Asin has become the toast of Bollywood. She is flooded with offers and the petite actress from the God's Own Country is excited and thrilled.

Asin, who made a mark in Tamil cinema, says, "I am happy at the reception given to me in Hindi filmdom".

Asked whether she would act in a Tamil movie again, Asin says, "I am open to offers from any industry, as long as the role is good. I have done most roles in the south and don’t want to repeat them. If something really interesting comes up, I will not say no to a Tamil film".

"But, right now, things seem to be happening for me in Bollywood and I feel I should give it a shot," says Asin.

After making a smashing Bollywood debut opposite Aamir Khan in Ghajini, all eyes will be on the south-Indian superstar, Asin Thottumkal, in her second major release, London Dreams. The winner of several Filmfare Awards moved to Mumbai to carve a career in the Hindi film industry after Ghajini became a historic hit and producers began queuing up to sign her.

Contrary to popular belief that Vipul Shah cast the 24-year old in his magnum opus after Ghajini, she was penciled in as Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan's lady-love well before her maiden outing. In London Dreams, she plays Priya, a young music enthusiast who joins Arjun's (Ajay Devgan) rock band in London.

Confirms Vipul, “I had seen Asin in a couple of big South films and really liked her work. I was looking for someone who could essay a beautiful Iyer girl, adept at both classical and western dance, and yet look like she's been born and bred in London. I signed her even before the first promo of Ghajini came on television. Taking a newcomer opposite two big stars was a risk but I was confident of her and followed my instinct. When Ghajini clicked, I knew I had made the right decision.
