Asin again opposite Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan starrer movie, after London Dreams, now again actress Asin and Salman will play the lead role in director Anees Bazmee's remake of hit South film Ready under Bhushan Kumar production.

A sources say’s that first choice was Deepika Padukone, than after Asin all most final for this Hindi remake movie.

The original is a Telugu film Ready that starred south actor Ram and Genelia Dsouza in the lead roles. It was one of the highest grossing films of 2008 and is a romantic comedy film. Anees Bazmee plans to retain several funny sequences from the original in the remake.

Bhushan Kumar of T-Series confirmed the development saying, “Yes we are producing the film and it goes on floor in June. Talks are on but I can’t comment on the casting.”

Ever since their coming together in the film LONDON DREAMS, Asin and Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan's chemistry has been under the public scanner. Now, after their much talked about bonding during the shoot of the film, the latest buzz is that the equation between the two has progressed to the next level.

According to the reliable sources, "Salman and Asin have hit it big on the personal front. Both the actors have become thick friends post the shoot of LONDON DREAMS. Now, Salman seems to be taking more interest in Asin than Katrina and it seems the new friendship between the two is growing by the day."

Though, earlier it was reported that Ajay Devgan is Asin's good friend, but now it seems the actress has the backing of the muscular Khan as far as her personal life is concerned. Well, for the moment Katrina surely has a new competitor to deal with.

So much was talked about Salman Khan-Asin Thottumkal jodi during the shooting of London Dreams abroad. It was reported that their chemistry had affected his relationship with girlfriend Katrina Kaif. The latest we hear is that they have turned enemies.

The grapevine is abuzz with the news that all is not well between Salman and Asin. It all started after the actor completely ignored his co-star at an event which was meant for promoting their film London Dreams. He didn't even acknowledge her presence and left without speaking a word to her.

It is said that Salman had a cold on the day when the joint interview took place. In spite of his ill health, he used to come to the venue where the promotional event was supposed to take place. Assuming that the joint interview would take place then and there, Asin sat beside him. But sadly, he ignored her completely.

Has the lead pair of London Dreams turned enemies? You never know!

First, the story of Salman Khan's incredible chemistry with Asin Thottumkal on the sets of London Dreams broke out. Then the news of his fight with her father took over. After keeping silent for a while, the unit of the film has started opening up, as the release of London Dreams is drawing near.

Asin has finally come out to clarify on the reported fight between Bollywood Superstar Salman and her dad Joseph Thottumkal. She claimed that they got along very well and didn't involve in any fight. In contrary, she revealed that Salman gifted an autographed portrait to her dad.

The much-hyped film London Dreams starring Salman, Ajay Devgn and Asin Thottumkal is releasing this Friday, 30th October.

Asin says she’s had great fun shooting for ‘London Dreams’. She calls it a one of a kind experience.

There were numerous pranks, rambling tongue twisters, mugging up of one liners and so on…

She says she has learnt some interesting new things and Salman and especially Ajay Devgan made it even more interesting.

She’s said, “Ajay used to come up with some funny one-liners and tongue twisters which I got to learn from him. It’s one of my best shooting experiences. But I am not in a position to judge but yes as costars I feel they all are fabulous to work with. Both are very different actors and different people.”

Ajay actually seems to have impressed the Southern dame quite a bit.

She said, Her dream was to work with Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan, She done in her 2 film in London Dreams. When she came to know from the Director of London Dreams her costar is Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan she was very happy to do that film.

She’s added, “Everyone knows that Salman is very chilled out but for Ajay, I thought he is a very serious and reserved person. But he is a complete surprise package. He is a complete entertainment channel on the sets. Ajay is a prankster and I wasn’t aware of that. He actually tried playing a prank on me but it didn’t work so Ajay now has to think of something tougher.”

After coping up with somber Aamir Khan and his perfectionist ways, this sure would like a vacation for Asin. Not bad at all.

Bollywood actress Asin Thottumkal has said that she is far away from vulgarity. Asin who will star in her second Bollywood movie London Dreams said that she chooses her roles carefully and she wouldn't do something which is vulgar or indecent. She added that she would never do something baseless and something she wasn't comfortable with.

The Southern beauty who had struck gold with her debut movie Ghajini staring opposite Aamir Khan said that script, role, director, producer and then co-artist were her criteria behind choosing a movie and language or financial issues never bothered her. The 23-year-old actress will be seen starring alongside Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan in London Dreams.

Expect the unexpected from Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan. Kolkatans are going to have a whale of a time with Wanted actor very soon. He is going to celebrate the success of Wanted in Kolkata on 23rd October. But surprisingly, he is coming with Asin Thottumkal and not Ayesha Takia, the heroine of Wanted.

The company that is marketing Wanted and London Dreams, decided to bring Salman to the city because the football match, which was supposed to take place at the Mohammedan Sporting Club on September 26, was cancelled due to security reasons. The whole team of Wanted had to leave the playgrounds, after 40,000 fans went berserk.

Salman is coming along with his London Dreams co-star Asin and the crowd is expected to touch 90,000. He will be dressed in tune with his character in London Dreams and perform along with dancers during the two-hour show. Ajay Devgn is also expected to turn up.

It's Kolkata dreams for the team of London Dreams.

After keeping silent for a while, South Indian beauty Asin Thottumkal has surfaced again with her second Hindi film London Dreams getting ready for release on 30th October. This time, she speaks on her relationship with actor Salman Khan.

Asin said that she shares a professional relationship with Salman. She clarified that it's a very friendly professional relationship and not a robotic one. She went on to say that they are very comfortable with each other and would promote for the film together.

But what about her alleged affair with him? She said that it's a complete rumours. She added that the news of her tiff with him is also not true.

Asin Thottumkal was told horror stories about Salman Khan when she signed 'London Dreams' opposite him. But all the misgivings were sorted out once she started shooting with him, Asin says and stresses that all negative stories about the superstar are "cooked up".

"Really, it was all so strange because even before reporting for the film's shoot, there was this particular notion being built in my mind around Salman."

"See, we all know about Aamir Khan being so disciplined. So once I signed 'London Dreams' with Salman, various kinds of stories started coming my way. People commented that 'Aah, you have worked with Aamir; now see what it is to be with Salman'," Asin told us.

But the actress didn't face any problems throughout the making of 'London Dreams'.

"It is nothing less than a case study of its own. I can slice and dice a dozen-odd instances when it was proved time and again that Salman was nothing like he was being made out to be."

"I have absolutely no clue how negative stories about him keep emerging out of nowhere. As I look at them today, I believe these are all someone's cooked up imaginations," said Asin.

Other than the fact that Salman contributed to the scheduled completion of the film, he too didn't allow his personal problems to come in the way of 'London Dreams'.

"Let me begin with the misconception of Salman being not punctual. Our first schedule took place abroad and it was wrapped up many days in advance. This means that it was a disciplined shoot and everyone including Salman was punctual. There was absolutely no tardiness on his part and he was always on time," she said.

She also narrated the incident when Salman's dog died.

"Everyone knows that Salman is so close to his dog. Even when his dog died, he didn't call to cancel the shoot for that day. Instead, he turned up for the shoot in Karjat. It would have been even more difficult since he had to shoot for a happy and rejoicing song," Asin said.

Even in front of the camera, she didn't face any issues working with Salman. Just like Aamir, Salman too just went ahead with his part and didn't interfere in the way Asin wanted to approach her scenes.

"Whether it was Aamir in 'Ghajini' or Salman in 'London Dreams', I didn't have to make any changes to adapt to their working style. They made me feel really comfortable. I was free to do things the way I wanted to because Aamir is very chilled out and he goes about his own job without interfering.

"Same is true with Salman. He doesn't come to you and tell you how you should be approaching your character. That is why it was so cool working in 'London Dreams'. I am still surprised at why people have negative things to say about Salman," Asin said.

Releasing Oct 30, 'London Dreams' is about a band comprising Salman, Ajay Devgan, Asin, Rannvijay Singh and Adithya Roy Kapoor. Asin plays the role of a dancer in the film.

Same time last year, Vipul Shah with his entire cast and crew was busy filming a song from his yet another ambitious film, London Dreams. Jimmy jibs operators, steadicam operator, the choreographer having a word with Vipul, Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan in their shady tents trying to escape the unusually surprising London heat on a busy Sunday London Bridge location. Then I spot her. She looked a loner. I dream about London and her. Me and her walking hand in hand besides the quiet waters of the river Thames.

Here's the thing: She is clad in stretchy skin-tight black from neck to ankle, wearing shoes that blend the architectural with the glossy and ephemeral. Her legs are coyly folded underneath her body. Her long hair is tightly pulled back from her face, which is expertly made up to conquer tiredness and appear fresh. Her skin glows with success. There is no hint of any dubious celebrity tightening or enhancing around the eyes, nose, ears and mouth. Her figure implies that a certain amount of almost surreal attention has been paid to maintaining that body. She ain't the celebrity defined by cliched magazine covers, glamorous videos and spiteful internet gossip. She is as real as it gets after your wishful dream comes true. It's just that mine didn't. This correspondent gets dreamy about Asin Thottumkal in London, and maybe that's the reason she got a comfortable seat all to herself.

Then I hear someone say, "Excuse me dreamer". But here's a dream come true all the way from the receiver end of the telephone...Asin dreams about London, her filming days, her shopping spree, her food habits and hopes her second dream comes true - she hopes it's her second blockbuster hit after Ghajini. All the way from London, here's Asin, my dream girl!

Vipul Shah likes to play a lot with cultures, emotions, sentiments. Is London Dreams any different?
No. London Dreams isn't different from any other Vipul Shah film except that it's a musically inclined film. Yes, you're right. Vipul likes to play with emotions and I wanted myself to get into a project, a film, which is like that and kind of different from Ghajini. I wanted to do a commercial Bollywood film and London Dreams is much bigger in scale than my previous outing.

The first theatrical promo of London Dreams reminded a lot of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam where both Ajay and Salman acted together.
(laughs) There is a parallel there now. There is a lot of drama and emotions like the film you've just mentioned and the theatrical promo reveals that too. I don't think one will be thinking of a Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam when you see London Dreams, except for the fact that both Ajay and Salman are again together. People should take Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam out of their minds and go and watch our film.

Ajay is a prankster, we all know that and Salman not far behind. How many times did they pull your leg?
Seriously, never. Yes, they were trying to make a plan for a prank on me and also tried to work it out in London while we were filming. It just happened once. On the sets it’s always a fun filled atmosphere when you're working with pranksters like Ajay and Salman. I'm sure both had to think of something even more devious to try and make a 'bakra' out of me. I did wish them luck for a better next time but nothing happened.

Is London Dreams an out and out musical journey? Last year same time, Rock On created quite a stir in the industry too.
Even though the premise of the film is related to music, concerts and performances, I basically don't think it moves in the similar path as Rock On did. I want people to go and see London Dreams and figure out themselves whether they find any similarity between Rock On and London Dreams.

Second film and already worked with the three big and best actors of our industry - Aamir, Salman and Ajay. How mature and experienced have you got today?
I think I mature with every shot that I give and every film that I complete. Working with actors who've got so much experience behind them is a boon. You don't consciously think about it but in your subconsciousness, you do think about it. I really come with a clean mind and do not come with a certain image of every different people I'm going to be working with, whether be it media created or public perception. I'd like to get into a person from my own personal experience. I never felt intimidated with either Aamir, Ajay or Salman because when you're working with seniors like them, it is they who create a good atmosphere and they did just that. They never had starry ego problems or a star power syndrome.

Did you ever dream of going to London to shoot a film?
It wasn't my dream to shoot in London but the shoot in London did become a dream. For sure, this has been the best shooting experience of my life, whether the film is a hit or not. I do cherish my moments of working in this beautiful city. Most of the film was shot in London. There was never an instance where each actor would retire to their respective vanity vans and stay there till the next shot was ready. We all used to hang out together, we would talk about our experiences throughout our lives, all the films that we've done, have stories to share, jokes to crack and pull each others leg. The fact that all of it happened in London makes it even more special.

I've never given a compliment like what I'm going to give to any actor. This one goes to you - You're the only actor I've seen on-screen who looks so damn beautiful when you cry.
Oh! (laughs). Wow! That is quite a compliment I must say. Thank you so much and let me grab this compliment before anyone else does (laughs). I am not a very conscious actor as in terms of look or probably as much as my contemporaries are. I am not the one who constantly gives a shot and checks the monitor. I let the director 'ok' my shot. It's nice to hear from your director when he says that you look good in the shot. But it's equally nice to hear that I look beautiful when I cry from critics like you.

What about your shopping spree and junk food experiences of London?
(laughs) Eating experience and that too junk food was not much because I had to keep an eye on whatever I was eating because I had to work towards the look of Priya, the character I'm playing in London Dreams. Not only me, but everybody on the sets were food conscious, Ajay and Salman included. Both had to look into their fitness regime quite a lot as they were working towards building their bodies. Ajay had to work out extra as he had to remove his shirt too. Everybody was into diet food. The only thing we consumed quite a lot was coffee as it was quite freezing while we were shooting. As far as shopping is concerned, it's a very put-together look for Priya. Me and Ashley Rebello, the stylist for our film went out shopping when we got free time from the sets. Forget the branded stores, we shopped from the streets too. I will not say that I did not shop from the branded ones. So here it is - Harrods, Topshop, Selfridges, etc. We did shopping not for me, but to create the look for Priya.

The name London is really lucky for Vipul. His last outing Namastey London was a huge success worldwide. The time has come to be second time lucky?
I hope so because and I pray, because it's not just the second time for Vipul, it's my second film too. So we both hope our dreams to come true (laughs). The film has shaped up quite well and I completely trust Vipul when it comes to understanding the Indians in London and the whole scenario out there. He taps into a lot like the way people live in London, their relationships, their dreams, etc.

This sure must be your dream come true - to shoot a film in the world famous Wembley Stadium.
Yes it was. Oh my God! I haven't been a part of any live concerts at Wembley Stadium but it was a dream come true. We did shoot for a day in Wembley however, the major rock concert in the film was shot in Mumbai by building the sets. But the scenes leading to the song and after that were shot in Wembley. I am a music person, yes. I would love to be a part of live concerts. Although Priya is an exaggerated version of certain traits of my personalities. She has got these two aspects to her personality. One, she is very conservative, traditional girl who is born to a conservative South Indian family. She wants to see herself in the field of music and dance. At home she is traditional but when she steps out, she becomes a rock chic when she joins this band called 'London Dreams'. I have a similar passion which is in Priya.

After working with Aamir Khan in her Bollywood debut 'Ghajini', southern beauty Asin will now be seen with Salman Khan in 'London Dreams'. She says while the two superstars are very similar as people, their working styles are poles apart.

"As people, there are a lot of similarities between Aamir and Salman. Both are extremely warm, very friendly and down to earth. Not at all pretentious,"

"As actors their working styles are quite different. Like for example when Aamir used to come on the sets to shoot, he used to sit with the cast and crew and used to discuss the scene, give his ideas and his inputs; he used to be quite involved," the 23-year-old said.

"On the other hand, Salman used to come on the sets, shoot for the scene and leave. There used to be no give and take of ideas; so it used to seem very spontaneous. However, I am sure in his mind he must be knowing exactly what he has to do and how he has to do it," she added.

The actress, who was brought up in Kerala and debuted in Sathyan Anthikad's Malayalam film 'Narendran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka' in 2001, created a mark in the Hindi film industry with 'Ghajini' in 2008.

She is ready with her second Bollywood venture 'London Dreams' that stars Ajay Devgan along with Salman.

Asked if she was nervous being in the same frame as two such experienced actors, Asin said she neither felt nervous nor intimidated.

The southern sally, Asin, of Bollywood is soon going to be seen in an avatar never been tested in the Indian waters before. From being the bubbly girl next door in Ghajini she's all out to take your breath away in London Dreams. We give you the lowdown.

One look at the stills of London Dreams, it's not hard to imagine what Asin is bringing to the table. It's a far cry from her past roles of a sweet young girl, who couldn't even dream to hurt a fly. This one sure means business. It's outdoorsy, edgy and comes in with bucketful of attitude.

Priya, the character played by Asin in the film is of a girl belonging to a south Indian family but is born and brought up in London. Her love for music and dance is what makes her part of a rock band by the name of 'London Dreams'. Considering this Ghajini girl has always been seen as the 'girl next door', director Vipul Shah puts all doubts to rest as while explaining her latest transformation to a rocker girl. States Vipul, "In Ghajini, everyone saw Asin's acting capabilities, in my film everyone will see her dancing skills, not only classical but even western." He continues, "Madhuri had the 'girl next door' quality, so do Rani and Priyanka, but they all are capable of looking sensuous and sexy. Asin also has an added advantage of her freshness".

Expect the unexpected in Bollywood. Friends turn foes and vis versa. We heard not long ago that Salman Khan was going gaga over Asin Thottumkal, his co-star in London Dreams. It was even rumoured that they were having affair. Now, the latest we hear is that all is not well between the duo.

The grapevine abuzz with the news that Salman and Asin just can't stand each other though nobody knows what went wrong between the duo. Adding more fuel to the fire, Asin never turns up for discussing the promotional activities of London Dreams. It's her father Joseph Thottumkal, who has been running around meeting Salman and Vipul Shah in spite of his ill health.


It is said that Asin do meet Vipul Shah but only when Salman is not around. So, Vipul has to do double duty, running between the two actors.

So, what has transpired into their chemistry? Has Katrina Kaif warned Salman from meeting Asin like he told her not to work with Vivek Oberoi? Over to Salman and Asin!

The latest gossip in the tinsel town is about Asin Thottumkal having Salman Khan’s poster all over her bedroom. The buzz is that Aisn wakes up every morning seeing Salman’s face. The Ghajini star who is working with Sallu Mia in the upcoming London Dreams has been completely bowled by Salman’s charms. Why not after all Salman is the most eligible bachelor in the tinsel town.

A Mumbai based tabloid had also reported that Salman gifted Asin a flat in Lokhandwala so that the southern star could have a permanent resident in Mumbai. The two stars are reported to have been mingling together on the sets of London Dreams. Salman had incidentally gifted a flat to Katrina Kaif on last Valentine’s Day. Katrina doesn’t seem to mind all that as long as Salman doesn’t ask her the question of marriage!

South Indian actress Asin Thottumkal was dogged with controversies ever since she entered Bollywood. Her London Dreams almost turned into a nightmare following the rumours of her affair with co-star Salman Khan broke out.
