Waiting for Asin
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,December 13 2005]
Asin, the numero uno actress in kollywood was last seen in Malayalam in Narendran Magan Jayakanthan Vaga.
She has come a long way since then. After a good show in her Tamil venture M Kumaran S/o Mahalakshmi, her Ghajini gave her a identity in Tamil.
On entering Kollywood, she says,'after completing Narendran Magan Jayakanthan Vaga I had decided to concentrate on my studies and stay away from films for a while. I had modeled in a few commercials. Director Puri Jagannath saw the ads and invited me to act in the film.'
That was a major turning point.
'In Telugu, the film was heroine-oriented. When they remade it in Tamil, there were lots of drastic changes. I then acted in 'Shivamani 99848022338 with Nagarjuna in the lead. There were a few other films too.'
Interestingly, Asin's first film in Tamil was director Jeeva's Ullam Ketkumae. But the first film to be released was M Kumaran s/o Mahalakshmi.
Asked whether she would venture to Malayalam again, Asin says, why not?
But as of now she is busy with several offers in Kollywood and Tollywood as she has become a sought-after heroine there.
Malluwood, then, is waiting hopefully.
