Poor Asin, the South Indian actress who entered Bollywood with a bang opposite superstar Aamir Khan in Ghajini, is now struggling to keep herself afloat here.
Probably her nightmare began with London Dreams opposite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn which flopped at the BO. Recently, Asin was dropped from Vipul Shah’s KhaKha KhaKha opposite John Abraham because according to the filmmakers, her character was similar to the one she played in Ghajini, but insiders said that it was John who didn’t want to romance her, though the actor denied the rumours. Now the actress reportedly has lost out on Anurag Basu’s film Silence starring Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra and that too because she’s not tall enough!
The role had initially gone to Katrina Kaif, who according to gossip mongers had turned it down because of Priyanka’s powerful presence in the film. This led to Anurag hunting for a new face for which he also held auditions but couldn’t find the face he was looking for. It’s then that the producers asked him to take Asin, but the director refused to do so because he’s looking for a girl who is more than 5.8 feet tall.
He doesn’t think she’ll fit the role,” said a source. “Now egos are bruised. Anurag, who wants to have his way, has gone ahead and is busy directing shows for a Bengali channel because of which Silence has been kept on hold.”
Though everyone’s maintaining ‘silence’, it’s ultimately Asin who’s lost out on the opportunity of working with the current heartthrob Ranbir. Fortunately for her, Salman, who had taken a liking for her during the making of London Dreams is doing Anees Bazmee’s Ready with her.
