John gets Asin
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,April 08 2010]
Now itÂs time for John Abraham to turn southie, we say The cool hunk has signed on the dotted line for Vipul Shah for a hit Tamil remake ÂKaakha KaakhaÂ. And guess who will be JohnÂs love lady in this one? Asin; the southern beauty who did Vipul ShahÂs ÂLondon DreamsÂ.
Sources say that initially Shah had Genelia D'Souza in mind, but as the gal is already paired up with John in ÂHook Ya CrookÂ, Shah chose to finalise Asin, in need of a fresh couple.
Tagged as a hardcore action flick, the Hindi version will be directed by Nishikant Kamath of 'Dombivili Fast' and ÂMumbai Meri Jaan fame. In this, John features as a tough encounter specialist and for this the actor is said to be working seriously over his physique. Asin here will play the character of a schoolteacher. The film is expected to go on floors in May.
For the record, ÂKaakha Kaakha had Suriya and Jyothika in lead. Suriya is a south star who is debuting in Hindi with RGVÂs ÂRakta CharitraÂ.
