And Asin it is, as Salman Khan’s leading lady in Anees Bazmee’s remake of Telugu hit, Ready.
And it was never Deepika Padukone, as reported in a section of the press. “Asin plays the lead. I wonder where Deepika’s name came from!,” says director Bazmee, currently preparing for a month-long shooting of his new film Thank You in Canada.
Anees also denies the story that Salman asked him to sign Asin. “The role requires a chulbuli, vivacious, talkative and agile girl. Asin was the natural choice.”
Asin had played a similar role in Ghajini. That’s the role that convinced Anees that Asin was the right choice for Ready.
In fact, Genelia D’Souza, the first choice for all ‘chulbuli vivacious-girl parts, was working with Anees Bazmee in yet another remake Its My Life (original Telugu film Bommarillu). Genelia was Anees’ natural choice.
