‘Asal’ uses Ajith’s house
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, November 11, 2009]
‘Asal’ in the combination of Saran-Ajith had its shoot in Malaysia and Paris. Last week the team had its shoot done in a posh apartment in Raja Annamalipuram for three days. Interestingly, the apartment was decorated with the same interior as Ajith’s own house.
The latest location in which the shoot is going on is, Mohan Studios in Saligramam. We hear from the sources that a set which is used as Ajith’s office is erected with a very stylish and hi-fi outlook.
‘Asal’ is out-and-out a commercial flick which has a fast paced screenplay. When asked about the film, the director confidently said, “We are taking care of every minute detail that we can and seeing to that every scene has some interesting stuff. So the whole team is so sure that we will be giving a hit with ‘Asal’ and without doubt ‘Asal’ will be out for Pongal.”
As AVM is considered to be the director’s lucky place, the last schedule of ‘Asal’s shoot is planned to be done in AVM. Saran guaranteed that ‘Asal’ will be a great feast to Ajith fans!

Sameera Speaks About Asal And Ajith
Published in Times Of India daily paper dated Nov 08, 2009
‘I WANT MORE FEMALE FANS THAN GUYS’
It’s not often that you come across a star like Sameera Reddy confessing that she’s impressed about something. And so, when she does, you know it is special.
Says the star, who is in the city shooting for Ajith’s Asal, “I did my first Tamil film Vaaranam Aayiram (VA) with Suriya and I found him really cool. But then, I thought Suriya was a one off case. Now, when I find Ajith to be relaxed, humble and easy to work with as well, I’m thinking, ‘Wow, is this the way the whole Tamil film industry is?’ I’m highly impressed with the industry here.”
That feeling, it seems, is mutual, given the impression the crew of Asal have about her. So, it comes as no surprise when the actress says, “I have to say that it has been a wonderful experience working in Asal, which is being directed by Saran and produced by G Prabhu. I think people in this unit work hard not because they are asked to, but because they want to.”
ON THE FILM’S STORY AND HER ROLE IN IT...
It’s very hard to get the lady to talk about Asal’s story. Choosing her words carefully, she says, “I play a cultural attache in the embassy in France. I play a new age woman, who is very stylish, but is still traditional at heart. My look in the film is French and I speak French. I’m the connection between the hero and what his mission is.”
ON AJITH...
It’s just the storyline that she won’t disclose. However, when it comes to talking about her costars, the actress is more forthcoming. Says she, “There is something special about Ajith. Even if he is not in a scene, he is so worried about the safety of the unit and his co-stars. I remember, in France, he’d keep telling me to put on my seat belt. He didn’t need to be there
even for the stunts that I did in Chennai. But he would stand there and make sure that everything went right. That’s one reason why I respect him a lot.”
ON THE FUN SHE HAD SHOOTING FOR THE FILM...
Commenting on the other members of the crew, she says, “Suresh and Sampath are two people with whom I’ve become good friends.” Narrating a funny incident, she says, “There’s a chase sequence that takes place in the French city of Leon. We were running through crowded streets with Suresh in a police outfit. The camera was camouflaged. So, people thought that a real chase was taking place. As I was running, I noticed an excited look on people’s faces. People everywhere were enamoured with the way we shot.”
ON VAARANAM AAYIRAM’S SUCCESS...
The lady says she’s become a proper Chennaiite and that she loves the city. “Chennai has a relaxing pace, while Mumbai has a hectic lifestyle. Between the two, I have the best of both worlds. I got to know Chennai better when I was working in Vaaranam Aayiram. I’m so proud of VA and the way Gautham presented me in it. I think Gautham got who I was on a level that most directors didn’t. I’ll tell you what the most important thing for me is. It is to have more female fans than guys. To have the ladies of the house love me is what thrills me. And Vaaranam Aayiram did just that. When I met Prabhu sir’s family for Asal, and when the ladies of his house said they really liked me in VA, I was beaming. After VA, I’m extremely careful when it comes to picking my roles in Tamil cinema. I believe I owe that much to my Tamil audience who have given me so much love after VA.”

Ajith’s eyes will speak in ‘Asal’!
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, November 07, 2009]
Our Thala is a man of few words in his real life. We were seeing him delivering punch dialogues and speaking lengthy conversations in his movies, but this time he will be almost mum!
Sources close to Ajith’s upcoming project ‘Asal’ say that the actor will have too less to talk. In fact one can jot down his dialogues in the whole film within two papers.
Yup, director Saran is a person who normally thinks different. He has used the real Ajith in 'Asal' and gave the work to his facial expressions, instead. The director has made Ajith to put across his emotions through his sharp eyes.
Apart from the fact that Ajith is man with a lot of hard work, he is one who can magnetize his fans with his eyes.
Let’s see the reaction of his fans after ‘Asal’ hits the floor…

No, this does not mean that his role is cut short, but the actor will convey the emotions mostly through his eyes and facial expressions. This has indeed created a huge expectation among Ajith’s fans.
Asal has a strong star cast including Prabhu, Suresh, Suhasini, Sameera Reddy and Bhavana. The film is slated for Pongal release.

Ajith bagged what Vikram missed?
IndiaGlitz [Friday, November 06, 2009]
It was announced that ‘Yaavarum Nalam’ fame Vikram K Kumar will be working with Vikram in ‘24’. Suddenly the rumour mills churn it that even before the film could start, the director and the actor got to the wrong end of the stick. So, Vikram has left to Ladakh and is shooting for Selvaraghavan’s untitled project.
What is more? The one who is affected because of this issue is the producer Mohan Natrajan. Gossip mongers added that while the producer was stuck between the hero and the director, the man who came to his mind like a knight in shining armour is our “Thala” Ajith.
Well, all know that the producer had already worked with Ajith in ‘Aazhwar’. And it’s learnt that the actor had promised the producer to do another film in future as ‘Aazhwar’ was an average grosser. This was like an energy drink to producer Mohan Natrajan who was in a big misery. And on top of that, reports said that the producer immediately made call to Ajith and asked for his call-sheet. Thank God, Ajith readily accepted the offer and thus Vikram K Kumar will be directing our Ultimate star soon.
Ooff… So much of guess works uh?
When we wanted to clear our doubts, we got in touch with director Vikram K Kumar. As usual the director rubbished the above stories simply and said that slim beauty Ileana will be pairing with Vikram.
The director further added that the film’s title will be changed before the shoot starts.
So, all is clear now people?
