Khiladi 786: Asin goes Marathi for Akki

Home > Bollywood > Titbits

Asin goes Marathi in her upcoming action comedy with Akshay Kumar and Mithun Chakraborthy

The actress, who's currently shooting for Ashish R Mohan's film, plays the nature of an ordinary Marathi mulgi.

She is pulling out the entire stops to essay the nature to the hilt in Akshay and Himesh Reshammiya's production. As there may be an elaborate wedding sequence, Asin was seen at the sets in a navvari green kashta sari, mundavalya (bridal jewellery), chandrakor (crescent moon) bindi and nathni (nose ring studded with pearls and beads) and green glass bangles.

Says a unit source, `Though she has played a bride in numerous of her films, this was a singularly unique experience for her. In her recent flicks Ready and Housefull 2, too, she played a bride but wore the standard lehengas. Dressing up for her Maharashtrian character was something novel for her.`

Adds the source, `Her character of Maya is that of Mithun's sister whose name is very a mouthful Tatya Tukaram Tendulkar. Because it is a comic book caper, the standard Marathi lingo has also been incorporated.

Asin being from the South, the Marathi language and customs are alien to her. So she is picking up the nuances of the language from her co-stars who're conversant in the language in addition to unit hands.` Perhaps Asin too can take tips from her Ghajini co-star Aamir Khan, who even had a Marathi tutor!
