Kamal Hassan & Asin in Indo-Japanese Film

Asin have come to Kerala to learn Kalari for the Indo-Japanese film ‘19 Steps. On her return from training, she gave a 15 minute interview.

This is what Asin had to say:

“I sign on a film after considering screenplay, characterization, production house and co-stars. I don’t come from an actor family. That’s why I’m yet to be satisfied with the acting I’ve done. There’s no such competition for me in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. I am my own competition. I’ve no hankering for awards. My main concern is to be accepted by viewers. As long as people want to see me on screen, I will continue to act. Awards are just a bonus, that’s all.Because many actresses don’t consider acting as a profession, many leave the industry early. It’s wrong to think that Bollywood is against the south Indian film industry. If that were so, talented personalities like AR Rehman and Resul Pookutty would not have made such a big name for themselves. You can shine in films only through talent. I speak from personal experience. I would like very much to get back to the Malayalam film field with its talented personalities. Fee is not a hindrance to it.Bharath Bala is directing ‘19 Steps.’ Music is by AR Rehman. Kamal Hassan appears in an important role. Read also about dilip kumar and saira banu children
