Actor Asin, whose Bollywood stint is not as rosy as it appears, is making a comeback to Tamil cinema with a Vijay film under Siddique’s direction. It is a remake of the director’s recent Malayalam hit Bodyguard. Sources reveal Siddique has pulled off a coup of sorts by remaking it in Hindi with Salman Khan, Telugu with Venkatesh and Kannada with Puneeth Rajkumar.
Rumour has it that Asin has been offered a hefty Rs 2.25 crore as her remuneration — this makes her the highest paid actress for a movie in the south. The actress maintains she has slew of nine Hindi movie scripts that she has already agreed to, but she accepted the Tamil movie because of a long pending commitment to Siddique even as she was doing Malayalam films.
However, the grapevine tells us the actress wants to be cast opposite Salman Khan in the Bollywood version as well. Insiders say that this has irked Siddique and he is contemplating on replacing Asin. A photo shoot for the movie is scheduled during the end of this month in Chennai.
