The suspense is over. After it was declared by the makers that Nargis Fakhri must make way for one more girl in Khiladi 786, there have been speculations galore around who will be the chosen one. While it might be futile to call those who were pitching for the role and were also in consideration, it has now been revealed that Asin is the selected one.
"Yes, Asin have been signed for the film. In truth she can be starting the film's shoot immediately", says our well placed source attached to the film.
This would also make it second instance where Asin can be paired opposite Akshay Kumar (Housefull 2). Incidentally, Asin have been over and over again repeated by her co-stars after being paired opposite them. If it is Salman Khan (London Dreams, Ready), Ajay Devgn (London Dreams, Bol Bachchan) and now Akshay Kumar, the woman is finding herself in every senior actor's wish-list.
"Her track record speaks for itself", the source adds, "She has already delivered three 100 crore hits (Ghajini, Ready, Housefull 2) and is course for fourth (Bol Bachchan). This places her right next to Kareena Kapoor who has an equal collection of centuries to her name (Ra.One, Bodyguard, Golmaal 3, 3 Idiots). Asin has earned her place on the top and now Khiladi 786 is a reward for that."
With 'khiladi' being Bollywood's oldest franchise and the last installment being remodeled a decade ago (Khiladi 420), Asin would now be the brand new age 'khiladi' girl. Those before her were Raveena Tandon, Mahima Chaudhary, Antara Mali, Shilpa Shetty, Juhi Chawla, Mamta Kulkarni, Ayesha Jhulka and Twinkle Khanna, who, in real life, is Mrs. Khiladi.
