n Bollywood, weighty issues are never in brief supply. Now, Asin seems to have joined the bandwagon. The actor lost around 10 kilos after wrapping up the primary schedule of Housefull 2 in London around June last year, just in time for the second one leg, which kicked off in Mumbai in September.
“We were surprised to peer Asin in a lighter avatar. But in preference to panicking, everyone — including Sajid (director Sajid Khan) —loved her new look because it was only going to work as a price addition,” says an insider within the unit.
Although makers approved of Asin’s slender figure, they'd to be sure adjustments. To start out with, the camera was placed a bit farther from the actor than usual. Plus, some clothes meant for certain photo shoots needed to be adjusted.
“Indian dresses equivalent to the ghagra-choli were altered to suit Asin. But that they had to switch the dresses with the similar designs in smaller sizes from costume designer Aki Narula since the old ones were too big for her and couldn’t be altered,” says the insider, adding that the improvement cost the production house R2.5 lakh extra.
When contacted, director Sajid Khan says, “I really don’t know if Asin lost weight or not. All I CAN say is that she was looking terrific during our second schedule. And that i don’t think any director can complain if his actor is discovering as being much more beautiful and has shed flab.’” Asin’s team, on their part, denies the load loss.
