"I have been warmly welcomed in Mumbai and it has been a smooth transition for me from South Indian films to Hindi," the actress is quoted as saying by a news agency.
The Cochin-born actress says she is amused when she is referred to as a debutante in the film.
“'Ghajini' is my 18th film. I have already acted in 17 films in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu languages…Compared to my contemporaries, I have been selective and even took a break some years ago to appear for my HSC examinations,” says Asin, who is reprising the role she played in the Tamil version Ghajini (Tamil) , released in October 2005.
On her character Kalpana in the film, Asin says she is a simple, ordinary girl from a lower middle-class family struggling to make it big in the advertising world.
“In the Hindi version, except director A.R. Murugadoss and myself, the rest of the team is new. There have been changes in the action sequences as well as the climax. However, my character has been left untouched…I feel blessed to have performed the same character twice,” she says.
While everyone’s talking about Aamir Khan ’s makeover in the film, Asin says equal attention was paid to her look.
"If the makers of the film worked hard on the look of Aamir's character, there was equal effort to keep my look very ordinary and simple,” she says.
‘Ghajini’ hits the theatres on December 25.
