Screen Buzz: There’s something about Asin

Asin is known in South circles for her beauty and acting skills. The actor, who has about a dozen South Indian films to her credit, made news recently when Aamir Khan reportedly called to compliment her for her performance in ‘Gajjini’.

Aamir was reportedly so impressed with the film and her act that he decided to play the lead in the Hindi remake of the film. In another film ‘High Jump’, the actor insisted on having Asin as the heroine, but Mani Ratnam, the producer of the film, apparently wanted Aishwarya.

However, the latest is that Ash has another connection to Asin. Ash’s ‘good friend’ Abhishek Bachchan is said to be taking keen interest in her. According to sources, Bachchan junior is so bowled over by her that he is recommending her name to Hindi filmmakers.

Apparently, Mani had initially considered casting Asin in ‘Guru’, but things didn’t work out and Ash stepped in. We are not sure how Abhishek’s growing fondness for Asin has affected his relationship with Ash (incidentally both Asin and Ash are Scorpios), but as of now, Abhishek’s bond with the girl seems a platonic one.
