AsinWhen Sathyan Anthicaud introduced a new heroine opposite to Kunchacko Boban in his 2001 Vishu release "Narendran Magan Jayakanthan Vaga", he wouldn't have expected that he is going to contribute majorly to Tamil & Telugu cinema with his protegee. The cute starlet was Asin ( Jollu:- Asin means "impeccable", but logically she must have been named as Haseen, which means beautiful in Hindi), but it was Samyukta Varma with an author backed role of a village president who walked away with all accolades leaving Asin in despair. Fortunately metro brought up Asin was quick enough to realise that she has no place in Malayalam film industry where there is an unwritten law that the heroines must be too docile. Asin went on to do modelling for AVT Tea replacing Heera Rajagopal in "vaangittengala..vaangitteengala..?", Aircell and Hayagreeva Silks (How does he know that I like this colour?...... with Vijay Adhiraj).

 

Next thing was she got signed by noted cinematographer Jeeva for his second directorial venture called PEPSI, which is now rechristined as "Ullam Ketkume...". But that movie got stuck and meanwhile noted Telugu director Puri Jagannath, who was hunting a homely girl for his film "Amma Nana oka Tamil ammayi.." opposite to Ravi Teja, happened to notice Asin. As the name suggests the heroine is a conservative Tamil girl and Asin suited the role to "T". The movie went on to become a block buster and there was no looking back for Asin. Her second movie in Telugu was with one & only Nagarjuna in "Shivamani 98440 85502", where along with this duo Rakshitha (of "Dhum" fame) provided the glamour quotient. This was also a super hit and Asin went on to capture the heart of Telugu audiences who were clayed with glamourous bimbettes. Asin provided a refreshing change. Asin's third movie was "Lakshmi Narasimha" remake of Tamil hit "Saamy". Lakshmi Narasimha is still doing strong with 200 centres crossing 100 days mark. In the superstition driven industry, Asin had already established that she is a lucky mascot.

AsinAndhra media started raving her and elevated her to the league of Savithri. Asin has managed to dislodge the then ruling No.1 of Telugu Cinema Arthi Agarwal. ( Jollu:- Asin's plus point is not only she can look glamourous without stripping but also her ability to emote well ) May be due to this she is doing the remake of NTR - Savithri starrer "Narthanashala", reprising the role played by Savithri in the original. Asin's contribution towards her mother state Kerala is that she had brought a good reputation to Malayalee girls. It is only after the success of Kalyani (Kaveri in Tamil), and Asin,now Tollywood film makers are opting for more and more Mallu girls. Now almost all Malayalam heroines including Renuka Menon (with Akash in Anandham Anandhamayi), Meera Jasmine (with Pawan Kalyan), Gopika (Telugu versions of Azhagi & Autograph), Mallika (Autograph) and Nandhana are doing Telugu movies right now.

Having establishing herself in Andhra Pradesh, now Asin has got best of projects in both Tamil & Telugu including the remake of Kakka Kakka in Telugu opposite to Venkatesh. Asin is the new flavour among the Tamil heroes. She is doing movies with Surya (Chennayil or Mazhaikkalam), Ajith (Mirattal), "Jeyam" Ravi (remake of Amma Nana Oka Tamil Ammayi) and her backlog "Ullam Ketkume" is finally seeing the lights. Already Andhra media is wrting reams and reams about the professional rivalry between Trisha and Asin and it is sure to continue in Tamil also.

I have been a fan of Asin the day I saw her in the Hayagreeva Silks advertisement. I am sure you guys also will love her on screen. ( Jollu:- Asin is consolidating the fact that Mallu girls are the real beauties.) Admitted I haven't seen much of Asin's work except her debut movie "Narendran Magan Jayakanthan Vaga" and few commercials, but I am eagerly looking forward to see more of Asin in coming days. What drew me towards Asin is her homely yet modern beauty which every guy would love to take home to his mother.

Jollu:- Move away Meera, Trisha and Jyothika.... Asin is here with a bang!!!!
