Kadhambari..I'm also waiting for something from the Dasavatharam team.. Music, Stills appadinnu onnumey kaanum. Yeppo dhan release panna porangalo? Indha varushama, illa adutha varushama? 😆
Cinemalover, thanks for your compilation of stats on Asin. Asin (like certain "popular" actresses), is a favorite for some directors, for reasons known to the directors alone. I don't think Aamir Khan was the only reason, Asin was cast in the Hindi Ghajini. There was heavy rooting for her, from director AR Murugadoss. In a recent interview he had said, I'm so glad we could cast Asin in the Hindi version as well. She's doing such a tremendous job and being her first movie in Hindi, she wants to give ground breaking performance, that after some of her shots/scenes are over, Aamir Khan is so stunned that he has to rethink his moves, so his performance is at par with hers! And Murugadoss went on to praise her some more!! He also says with utmost confidence, that Asin will not return to the South! Paappom..
Same thing with KS Ravikumar. In one of his first interviews on Dasavatharam, he said, Kamal was quite suspecting his (Ravikumar's) choice of a heroine for this movie. He kept asking me will Asin really fit the bill? (I think the pair for Iyengar Kamal's character, needs someone with good emoting talents).
KSR said "And I told him, she did a great job in Varalaaru 😕 , so I'm sure she will do very well here. And as the film shooting progressed, even Kamal is very happy with my choice!". hmmm.. Idhaiyum dhaan paappom 😉
