After winning critical acclaim for her performance in Aamir Khan’s Ghajini, for which she was awarded the Filmfare Best Hindi Debut Award, Star Screen Best Female Newcomer Award and Stardust Female Superstar of Tomorrow Award, Bollywood sensation and Malayalee actress Asin is likely to team up with Shahrukh Khan in an untitled Hindi film by Yash Raj Films (YRF), sources indicated.
Grapevine is abuzz that Asin is being considered for the female lead opposite SRK. The original choice for the role was Katrina Kaif, but Shahrukh Khan preferred Asin as he wants to keep a safe distance from Salman Khan and Co. So, Katrina is reportedly out and Asin is in.
According to sources, Asin initially had difficulties in accepting Shahrukh Khan's flick as she had already allotted the dates to a Priyadarshan film with Akshay Kumar. Yash Raj Films demanded dates around the same time! However, luck favoured Asin when Akshay asked Priyadarshan to postpone his film because of unavailability of his dates. Priyadarshan's film was later shifted to 2010, consequently granting free dates to Asin for the Shahrukh Khan flick.
Asin is currently busy shooting for Vipul Shah's musical entertainer London Dreams, starring veterans Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan in principal roles. Produced by the director himself, London Dreams will release in August 2009.
