Asin has asked her producer Vipul Shah to kick off the promotions of her second film, London Dreams, with her. The
actress, who made her debut last year with Ghajini, was kept under wraps till the last leg of the film's publicity and she
felt she suffered due to that. She doesn't want to repeat the experience.
In Ghajini, she was debuting, therefore unimportant in the scheme of things. The film had Aamir Khan, who is available to
the media only around the release of his films, so they made the most of it.
Special request
London Dreams stars Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn. Asin is being extra cautious this time. She made a special request
to her London Dreams director Vipul Shah to let her start the film's promotion ahead of the her co-stars."
Vipul says, "We have worked out on our entire campaign. Normally, it is the male leads who start the promotion of the
film but we've decided to use the female lead and bring in some Lady Luck. This is her second film in Bollywood and
people are anticipating a lot from her. So it was a great idea to start the campaign with her."
I'm available
He disagrees that it was Asin's idea to set the ball rolling with her, "She didn't make any such conditions or request.
She said it was her second film after Ghajini and that she hadn't signed any other film.
She has given her 100
per cent and also wanted the movie to be promoted well from her side. During the shooting of the film itself, she had
spoken about the promotion aspect and how she will be available as and when required."
When asked if she'd get sidelined with two big male stars in the films, he says, "Apart from friendship, it is also a love
triangle. There are many layers to the movie; a love triangle being one of the most important ones, where Asin comes in
the picture."
