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.
