Asin is back in Anurag Basu's Silence doing the role that she had been originally signed for and then opted out of. A source from the team says, "Asin was approached by Anurag to play either of the two heroines in Silence. Asin chose to be the narrator.
Then Anurag approached Priyanka Chopra to play the second female lead as a mentally-challenged character. Priyanka agreed to do the role. The next thing we knew was that Katrina Kaif was playing the character that was offered to Asin."
Soon Katrina opted out too, because she found Priyanka's role more challenging. Says a source close to Asin,
"Asin loved the character of the narrator she was offered and it has come back to her. She has no clue what transpired in between. There was too much confusion about the casting."
Asin confirmed, "Yes, there is truth to what you've heard. But I am not at liberty to speak about it. As for why after all these months again is a question you'll have to ask them."
"Let me make it clear that I will never opt out of a film to avoid a co-star. In fact it would be a pleasure to work with Priyanka." Not too 'asin'ine for you, Asin. Piggy's bright.
Asin denies shooting 'steamy scene' with Salman
Ready may be months away from release but is definitely one of the most awaited films of 2011. After all it brings the hit combination of Salman Khan and Anees Bazmee together years after No Entry. Also, it would be the third Bollywood outing for Asin who waited to sign a new film after Ghajini and London Dreams.
However, the lady in question found herself in the news for all the wrong reasons with a piece of rumour floating around the world of web. As per that, she shares a steamy scene with Salman in the film and has finally let go off her imagination. The fact though is that this is far away from being true.
Says a highly placed source associated with Ready, "No, Asin hasn't shot for any such scene in Ready. The film doesn't need that. This is someone's imagination really running wild. Asin knew that such a news piece was floating around for last few days but she decided to stay low."
Why not raise an early alarm?
"You can't stop people from speculating. Some people write things that do not carry any semblance of truth", continues the source, "Asin has been in the industry for long and understands that such news pieces do float around. She decided to let it go so that it could die a silent death in due course of time. However, when certain reputed publications and glossies also fell for the so-called piece of information, she thought it was best to clarify."
One would have expected Asin to be all fired up when confronted with the query to unveil the truth. However, surprisingly one heard a giggle from her and though it didn't convey a 'care-a-damn' gesture, Asin was stern and sure in her denial.
"I am rather amused to hear this because I haven't shot any steamy scene with Salman in Ready", Asin comes clean here.
With the lady at the hot seat going on the records about her act in the film, there is of course no room for any more speculation or rumour.
"To think of it, the speculation by itself stands on a flimsy ground", smiles Asin, "Ready is a family entertainer. Now tell me, where would such a scene feature in it in any case? It's really weird that someone actually thought of bringing out such news for a movie like this where there is no scope for such a sequence in any case."
While Asin has now officially announced loud and clear that there was nothing mysterious around her exit from the Hindi remake of 'Kakka Kakka', controversies haven't stopped following her. Till date, she is questioned around whether the film's leading man John Abraham was responsible for that since he wasn't too keen about working with her.
Laughs away Asin, "Things have to be written and spoken about; you don't believe in all of them, right?"
In fact it was during the middle of the year when these rumours kick started, something which the actor also vehemently denied. He went on record to state that he hadn't requested Vipul Shah (the film's producer) to look out for another leading lady.
"It was the case of date diary played truant," says Asin in all earnest, "I had committed dates to 'Ready' and my Tamil film 'Kaavalan' only after accounting for the schedule of 'Kakka Kakka' remake. When 'Kakka Kakka' got delayed due to a new director (Nishikant Kamat) reworking on it, I was left with no other choice but to opt out of it."
That should settle the controversy once for and all.
