ENTRY TO THE TELUGU FILM INDUSTRY:

Asin Thotunkal (born on October 26, 1985) is an Indian film actress. She began her career acting in minor roles as a supporting artist in the Malayalam cinema industry, while also attending an acting studio, to follow her dream to act. After her debut in the Malayalam film industry, she acted in Telugu language films in which Asin gained Indian cinema's attention in 2003 by playing the role of Vasantha in Shivamani 9848022338 , her first major hit. The Tamil language film, Ghajini, is her first blockbuster, and since then she has acted in over twenty Indian films, with her main intention being Tamil language ventures. She, like many other actors has had a rich upbringing into the industry, with her father, Joseph Thottumkal being a noted businessman & ex-C.B.I officer and her mother, Celine Thottumkal, being a doctor.

CAREER:

Asin Thottumkal debuted in the Malayalam film Narendra Makan Jayakanthan Vaka in 2001, directed by Sathyan Anthikkad. Her breakthrough as an actress came with her first Telugu language film when she played the role of a Tamil girl in the successful Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi opposite Ravi Teja.


Initially many in the Tamil industry considered her to be a jinx as the initial movies she signed in Tamil were either canceled, delayed or faced financial problems. Although she signed Ullam Ketkumae as her first Tamil film, her first release was M. Kumaran son of Mahalakshmi which was a remake of her Telugu film "Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi". The movie went on to be one of the biggest hits in 2004 and introduced Asin to Kollywood.

Her movie Ghajini with Surya, which was released both in Tamil and Telugu, was a box office hit in both industries. She has become famous since then and went on to win the Filmfare Best Actress Award South for her role in Ghajini. Many movies followed and Asin played opposite some popular actors in South Indian Cinema, among them Surya, Vijay, Vikram and Ajith, with whom she starred in Pokiri with Vijay, Gharshana with Venkatesh, and Varalaru& Aalwar with Ajith Kumar.

Asin is also brand ambassador for various products including Fairever, Colgate and Mirinda. She was also a part of Mani Ratnam's stage show, Netru, Indru, Naalai alongside many other co-stars.

She dropped out of Surya's Sillunu Oru Kaadhal even after being offered three songs as she thought her role in the movie had not much scope. Her part went to Bhumika Chawla. She also had previously dropped out of Madhavan's Thambi due to tight scheduling.

Her next movie for release Dasavatharam opposite Kamal Haasan and it will be dubbed in 8 languages including Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Bhojpuri, Marathi and Hindi.

Especially in the wake of the failures in most of the films from him, this film had gained lots of hype. Incidentally, though his films failed to get a critical acclaim, he continued to maintain a steady pace in collections. But for a couple of films, all the others did a brisk business and they could not be written off as failures. In this backdrop, Pawan Kalyan's Jalsa had earned a unique craze among the business circles. We knew well as to how anxious the Power Star's fans are about his flick 'Jalsa'. Let us break some interesting facts about the movie. Read the exclusive highlights of the movie in UR Favourite Blog........

2. For the first time, Pawan Kalyan is pairing up with three heroines in a single movie. Parvati Melton and Kamalini Mukherjee are also featuring as female leads in 'Jalsa'.
3. 'Jalsa' is one of the heavy budget movies in Pawan Kalyan's film career. As per the information available, the climax itself would be shot for 20 days and art director Anand Sai had erected some costly sets including a house set for the movie at huge expense.
4. The unit of 'Jalsa' would soon leave for Bangkok to shoot a few songs abroad.
5. Even as 'Jalsa' is on sets, it got some crazy business offers. One of the corporate companies had offered a highest amount to grab the distribution rights, a never before fancy price for any Telugu cinema so far.
6. Another interesting feature is that Devi Sri Prasad is scoring music for the first time to a Pawan Kalyan's film, and the combination of Trivikram Srinivas is also the first in their career. As the hero and director had good sense and taste on music, they were able to extract fantastic tunes from a young talent like Devi Sri Prasad. As per reports, the music is coming out in an excellent way.
7. The shooting of 'Jalsa' is almost complete but for the canning of three songs and few percentage of talkie part. Most of the film was shot in and around Hyderabad in various beautiful locations. Incidentally, for the first time, Pawan Kalyan's film was shot at a number of public places in Hyderabad.
8. It is well aware that the shooting of 'Jalsa' was delayed due to unexpected turn of events. As a result the unit faced problems with regard to the adjustment of dates by other important artistes. However, the film unit is very confident and is in no hurry to wrap up the movie as it was being made with very high standards.
9. Popular anchor 'Colours' Swathi, who turned a film artiste recently, is testing her hand in dubbing the voice. She is lending her voice to Ileana for 'Jalsa'.
