CHENNAI: After making it big in Bollywood with the Hindi version of her Tamil film ‘Ghajini’, Asin Thottumkal is now on a remake spree. The young actress says such offers only help her reach out to a wider audience in different parts of the country.
"If it's an entertaining film and has a great story then I think it should be made for a larger audience and not particularly restricted to a group. Remakes help in doing that - to get a wider audience and to get the film across to a larger number of people," Asin said.
Asin made her Bollywood debut with ‘Ghajini’, a remake of its 2005 Tamil namesake.
The 24-year-old is now working in ‘Ready’ (remake of Telugu film named ‘Ready’) and the Tamil movie ‘Kaavalan’ (remake of the Malayalam film ‘Bodyguard’). Apparently Salman will also star in a Hindi remake of ‘Kaavalan’ after ‘Ready’.
Will she star in the Hindi remake too?
"I have not discussed that yet with anyone and I don't think the casting has been decided," said Asin.
Aren't there any problems of repeating yourself in a remake?
"The director is there to help you in that and you know your character well. For you it's a new script and a fresh project. You are not in any way repeating yourself. So you approach it in that way," she said.
