Asin says that director
Siddique approached her to star in the Malayalam
film Bodyguard initially. Since she was
busy at that time with two Bollywood films
– Gajini and London Dreams – she could not
take up the offers. Finally, Siddique roped
in Nayanthara and the film went on to become
a hit.
When the director decided to remake the
film in Tamil, he once again sought Asin’s
call sheet and the lady agreed immediately.
Asin is currently busy on the sets of
Kaavalan, the remake of Bodyguard, which
has Vijay playing the male lead.
