Neil Nitin Mukesh does not figure among the top 10 Bollywood stars. However, as per media reports Asin is going to be Neil’s heroine in Ravi Chopra’s Pocketmar! Remember, that after Ghajini, Asin had made it clear that she will only act with Bollywood’s A team of stars like SRK, Salman, Hrithik, Saif etc. She had refused early in her career to do films with today’s hot heroes like Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan!

According to sources, Asin bagged the role because the other top Bollywood actresses have date problems and some of them are not very keen to pair up with a relatively new hero like Neil Nitin. Now suddenly Asin is in the news by having dinner with him and the hungry entertainment media in Mumbai is spinning stories about their togetherness. Asin’s live projects at the moment are Vijay’s Kaavalan in Tamil and Salman Khan’s Ready in Hindi

Asin has the habit of filing the news, articles, interviews and photos about her which are being published in the print and electronic media. So Asin is able to know about all the news that is published about her.

Asin close Mumbai friends are Dhoni, John Abraham, Salman Khan and Madhavan. When these people meet, their topic will be on power bike. Because of this Asin knows everything about power bike. She use to roam with these guys on their bikes in Mumbai.

Asins BF in Hindi Kaavalan

While Asin is Starring in the malayalam movie Bodyquard remake in Tamil (As Kaavalan/Kaaval kaadhal starring Vijay).Who is doing it in hindi?

Initially there were rumours that Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor was all set to remake the Malayalam film, but it is actually Salman Khan’s brother-in-law, Atul Agnihotri, who will be making the film. And Atul has purchased rights of the film and it is Asin’s boy Friend Salman Khan will be starring in the lead role ,the lead lady is yet to be announced.

The Malyalam version of Bodyguard had Dileep and Nayanthara in the lead roles and was directed by Siddique.

Incidentally According to our source, “While Boney has been making announcements about various films starring Salman Khan,including the Bollywood remake of Bodyguard, It was Atul who has got the rights of the film and will start the film by the end of the year. It is unclear if Atul will be directing or just producing the film but the shooting will definitely begin soon.”
Whether the film goes on to be a hit like its original and who the leading lady will be, remains to be seen.

Asin shoots for 22 hours non-stop

Sources inform that “Salman was impressed by her professionalism. The actress has been shooting non-stop for 22 hours almost every day. But she did not let her hectic schedule affect the unit and nor did she cause any delays. In fact, she would shoot her portions on the sets, then fly to other locations for her ad shoots and rejoin the unit in Colombo.” She shot for Ready with Salman Khan in Colombo and then travelled all over to shoot for her endorsements.

The next schedule will begin soon in Bangkok and Mumbai.

Asin in Chennai. Red carpet rolled

Asin, after all the controversy over her visit to Sri Lanka and coo chi cooing with the government forces there is back at work and that too in Chennai. Tamil community was outraged at Asin’s visit to Sri Lanka and moving in the company of the President’s wife in military helicopter. Asin was able to go to areas declared high security zones and are banned even for international media and NGOs.

Asin with all her courage poo poohed the unity call of Tamil film industry and resumed her work for Vijay's film 'Kaaval Kaadhal'. The actress was seen shooting with Vijay in RCR region of Chennai with out any protest even to the minimum.

Does this mean the problem is over and Asin will not be troubled anymore? Was Asin right from the beginning when she daringly challenged the dictates of FEFSI? Will more stars be allowed to go to Sri Lanka in future? How are they planning to tackle the ban call given by the Tamil communities outside India including the largest Tamil organization FeTNA?

It’s good to have plans to cross the bridge even before they reach the bridge.

FeTNA bans Asin Thottumkal's movies

Asin Thottumkal's Sri Lankan visit is turning out to be a nightmare for the actress as Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America (FeTNA) has decided to boycott her movies. Asin, who went to the Island nation for the Bollywood movie Ready is facing the wrath of Tamil organizations.

“The Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America will boycott films of Asin because of her visit to Sri Lanka despite a ban by the Tamil film industry.” Indiatimes quoted FeTNA chief Palani Sundaram as saying.

FeTNA is an umbrella organization of many local North American Tamil organizations. It represents more than 30 local organizations.

Now, South Indian Film Artistes Association (SIFAA) has formed a committee to look into this matter. Meanwhile, Asin says that she has already spoken to SIFAA chief Sarath Kumar and she will respect committees stand on her Sri Lankan visit.

Earlier, SIFAA had warned actors not to travel to Colombo for IIFA awards and threaten to boycott film festival. Many actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Namitha, Genelia and others cancelled their trip at the eleventh hour. But, the stars like Salman Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Lara Dutta and others attended film fest and now they have been banned. (OI)

More trouble for South Beauty Asin

The Federation of Tamil Associations of North America (FeTNA), an umbrella body of more than 30 Tamil organisations across the United States, said on Monday that it would boycott films starring Asin because of her visit to Sri Lanka.

This decision comes a day after the South Indian Film Artistes Association (SIFAA) said on Sunday that a joint consultative committee would decide on the action to be taken against actors visiting Sri Lanka.

In a statement, FeTNA chief Palani Sundaram said, “The Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America will boycott films of Asin because of her visit to Sri Lanka despite a ban by the Tamil film industry.”

Meanwhile, the actress, who was in Mumbai on Monday, said she did not flout any diktat of the Nadigar Sangam as she stayed away from the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) award ceremony in the island nation.

“I spoke to SIFAA president Sarath Kumar and I am ready to abide by the joint committee’s direction,” she reportedly said. The committee comprises the Film Employees Federation of India, SIFAA, Tamil Film Producers Council, South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce and directors association among others.

Vijay's 'Kaavalkaran' rename as 'Kaaval Kaadhal'

The title of Vijay’s upcoming flick which is titled as ‘Kaavalkaran’, a remake Malayalam hit ‘Bodyguard’ directed by ace director Siddique has changed its title to ‘Kaaval Kaadhal’. This name was finally confirmed by none other than the film lead heroine Asin itself.

She said “A major portion of ‘Kaaval Kaadhal’ has been shot. I am happy about the shaping up of the movie.”

Asin, who is making her back into South with this film, says “Siddique is a highly respected director and Vijay is a top hero. Working with them is no doubt a delight.”

In the mean time Vijay’s next project which is tentatively titled as ‘Velayudham’ will start its shoot in an event that is going to be held at the Madras University Centenary Auditorium on July 15. Sources say “Around 10,000 Vijay fans are expected to attend the mega event.” It is being directed by ‘Jayam’ Raja and being produced by Aascar Ravichandran.

Asin could face Ban in Kollywood?

Actress Asin could face a ban from the South Indian films. In fact, a decision on her ban is expected to be made by the South Indian Film Artistes' Association shortly.

The South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFCC) has decided to boycott Bollywood actors and technicians who performed at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in Sri Lanka, following allegations of genocide against Lankan Tamils during the war against the (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) LTTE and the continuing discrimination against them.

Asin is currently shooting with Salman Khan in Sri Lanka for Anees Bazmee's ‘Ready’, a remake of the Telugu hit ‘Ready’. This ban on Asin will significantly affect her career in movies and commercials. Also, Asin has acted in a Kollywood film ‘Kaavalkaran’ with Vijay and it would be interesting to see how SIFCC reacts to this film.
