Asin rushed to hospital!

By Hindustan Times

Mumbai, April 16 -- Asin was in her make-up van yesterday, readying for the shoot of her Tamil film Kaavalkaran in Karaikudi, when a weird smell wafted around her and made her suddenly uneasy.

According to a source from the sets, within five minutes her make-up man had fainted and seconds later, Asin also started feeling breathless. She had to be rushed to a hospital that was 20 kms from the location. The doctors there attributed her sudden illness to a gas leak.

Says the spokesperson of the actress, "Yes, it is true. There was a gas leak and Asin had to be rushed to hospital. But she's fine and so is the rest of the crew. She has been discharged and has already resumed shooting."

Original avatar Kaavalkaaran that pairs the Ghajini actress with South superstar Ilayathalapathy Vijay is a remake of the Malayalam blockbuster Bodyguard, and is being directed by Siddique, who directed the original too. This is Vijay and Asin's third film together, after the super successful Pokkiri and Sivakasi. Buzz is that a Hindi Bodyguard too could be on the cards with Salman Khan in the lead.

Asin not ready to expose even for Bollywood

South Indian actress Asin made it all happen with her overnight success in Bollywood with Ghajini. With her London Dreams slated to hit the screens this weekend, the actress has got hold off some troubles that are popping up. Apparently, it’s all about the producers and filmmakers of Hindi film industry urging her to expose to glamorous shows and intimate sequences with her onscreen heroes.

Perhaps, the actress has been stuck to the rigid rules of not entertaining such factors from the moment she made high waves in South Indian Film Industry. According to the sources, Producer Vipul Shah of London Dreams had insisted her to wear skimpy costumes, which perturbed her a lot… But then again, ‘a rule is a rule’ says Asin, who has been persistently refusing the big offers merely because of such unfavourable scenarios.
