Asin has done about 20 films down South, whereas her journey in Bollywood has just begun. She is only five films old here, and the Southern beauty is treading her path very carefully.

Even as she knows that as an actress, she needs creative satisfaction with author-backed roles, till date she has acted in predominantly hero-oriented films. "The sad truth is that only if you act in commercial films, will you be able to reach the maximum number of people and attain the elusive X factor," says Asin, who admitted that as an actress her role in recently released Bol Bachchanwasn't challenging at all. "It wasn't the kind of a character that needed home work in first place," she says.

Also, most of Asin's recent releases have been comedies. "It is pure coincidence that I have had back to back comedies like Ready, Housefull 2and now Bol Bachchan. But I want to try the other genres," she says.

Wouldn't she want to try her hands at woman-centric films? "I want to stick to the commercial format of films before I go for woman-centric cinema like what Vidya Balan does. All said and done, it is a male-dominated industry," quips Asin. Her next is action comedy Khiladi 786with Akshay Kumar which is Akshay's home production.
