This cherubic girl was introduced
in Malayalam films. She stepped into
filmdom through modeling. A popular
model with Alukkas Jewellery and Hayagriva
Silks was noted by leading film makers
of Malayalam and was absorbed into
the world of glamour. She was earning
around two to four lakhs in advertisement
campaigns, charged five lakhs for
a film with Dileep.
Subsequently
was paid a sum of ten lakhs for the Telugu original
of M Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi and when the film
was made in Tamil she was offered 10-15 lakhs.
Eventually when her movies started doing well,
her rates have also catapulted to a greater height.
Asin is very smart and accepts films only with
leading stars and big banners. There would not
be a dearth of publicity in such films with mega
stars and mega banners. Similarly in the advertising
field, she endorses products only for leading
and top companies. Currently had asked for 50
lakhs for Dasavatharam with Kamal under the direction
of K.S.Ravikumar but settled for 45 lakhs. Pongal
2007 is going to belong exclusively to her with
Pokkiri and Aalwar lined up for release.
Her bubbly nature, charm and refreshing screen
presence have endeared her to audiences. She has
not yet got an opportunity to showcase her acting
skills to any great extent apart from the out
of the ordinary role in Gajini; she remains largely
untested on this front. However Dasavatharam alongside
Kamal may prove to be the yardstick by which she
is judged.
