The lissome babe from South is back as the cover girl; Asin turns little Miss Sunshine for the cover page of Jade March 2010 issue, and her smile is nothing but infectious.

That’s why someone rightly said, “If beauty is power, a smile is its sword”. The wavy hair, a vibrant face and a stunning smile doesn’t only warm up the cover but also the cockles of our heart. With Asin, the magazine gives its readers ‘power dressing’ for the women in command and also launches its women’s day special issue.

Now that her Bollywood career is not going great guns, Asin has shifted focus back to South India. She is apparently talking to producers in the Malayalam and Tamil movie industries. Though a Malayali, Asin has acted in only one Malayalam movie so far – and that was her debut film. Anyway, it looks like Chennai is eager to have the actress back. She has already been signed for the lead role in the Tamil remake of the Malayalam hit Bodyguard.

Asin was a name to reckon with in the south when she decided to move bag and baggage to Bollywood. A Hindi film debut opposite Aamir Khan in Ghajini is the stuff that every newcomer’s dreams are made of. The film was a blockbuster and Asin was the toast of B-Town. But after her London Dreams (opposite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn) became 2009’s biggest BO nightmare, life has been topsy-turvy. Rumours about the southern spice girl refusing films by Farah Khan and Ashutosh Gowarikar hasn’t upped her popularity quotient much. With not a single film in her kitty (and even Kollywood turning the other way), Asin says she’s taking a break (from films )to return to her first love, painting.

Actress Asin has lost a role to Shruthi Hassan, the budding actress and Kamal Hassan’s daughter. So, what’s the big deal? The thing is that the film which slipped out of Asin’s hands is an AR Murugadoss directorial, which is going to be a big-budgeted tri-lingual.

As the director has become immensely popular ever since the release of Ghajini (Hindi), it is definitely every actor’s dream to be a part of his film. Though Asin has already worked with the talent for the Tamil version of Ghajini, she would have wanted to be a part of his film yet again.

Legendary actor Kamal Haasan’s daughter Shruti Haasan’s Kollywood debut opposite reigning actor Suriya in a film to be directed by talented A.R. Murugadoss is one of the major happenings in the South Indian film industry these days!

While the shooting of this yet-to-be-titled flick, being simultaneously made in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil, is all set to begin this week, we hear that the makers’ original choice in the female lead of the film was Asin, but they finally chose Shruti Haasan instead of Asin as reportedly Shruti Haasan has a face which is more suited for Bollywood.

Asin is in a catch-22 situation. The actress is insistent on doing only Bollywood films with ‘top saleable male stars’ and thus refusing offers from Tamil cinema.

After the London Dreams fiasco, offers up north have dried up for Asin and the latest is that she is going about town talking about pursuing her first love —painting. Meanwhile, in Kollywood, Asin is still the most-wanted heroine in every big actor’s wish-list.

With no film in sight, Asin decided to take a break in her home-state Kerala. After her dud experience with London Dreams, the south Indian star has decided to be choosy on her future Hindi movie projects. Apart from her southern films, Asin has loads of free time at present. But the actress is unperturbed by her unemployed status. She is using her time judiciously.

The actress loves painting.

She had even held a painting exhibition at the age of seven.

However, years later she is once again devoting her time to painting.

It’s been a long time since Vijay and Asin Thottumkal have shared screen space. Earlier, the duo had delivered a fabulous spell of blockbusters with Sivakasi and Pokkiri. Although, many south Indian filmmakers and actors kept requesting her, the actress had to refuse their offers due to busy schedules in Bollywood.

Now with the actress running out of offers in Bollywood, she seems to have accepted to pair with Vijay in the Tamil remake of ‘Bodyguard’. The Malayalam version Bodyguard is directed by Siddique and featured Dhilip-Nayantara in lead roles. Producer R.B Choudary of Super Good Films has signed Siddique and Vijay for this remake version…

Asin Thottungal- the pretty and highly adorable actress from Kerala is the toast of the youth these days. Her unique acting along with the charm and high professionalism makes her the heart throb of millions. She has always opted out of the vulgar lanes and hence remains decent and elegant unlike so many other female actors in her field are.

Asin entered the film industry through modeling. Her debut film was in Malayalam- “Narendran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka” , which did not turn out to be a big break for her career. But she made a comeback through the Telugu commercial film “Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi” in 2001, which gave her the Filmfare Award for the Best Telugu Actress. This made her showered with exciting offers from Tamil and Telugu film industries.
