Only for Surya & Asin

The on-screen chemistry, in Gajini, between Surya and Asin captured all our hearts making them the hottest pair in Tamil cinema. But their good relationship was fugacious after Asin declined Surya's Sillunu Oru Kadhal which then went to Bhumika. So ever since Vel was announced by director Hari with Surya and Asin in the lead, speculations were rife that Asin would again decline the offer.

Moreover, after setting her foot in Bollywood, with superstar Aamir Khan in the Gajini remake, her appearance in this Tamil movie seemed doubtful. Rumors mills were working overtime speculating that Trisha and Genelia also figured in the list of prospective heroines. But director Hari scotched these rumors when our Behindwoods correspondent asked him about this issue. The director said that "Asin is the heroine of Vel and the shooting would commence during the first week of June". It seems Asin would complete her role in the Hindi Gajini and would fly back to be a part of Vel. Fans and movie buffs should be quite pleased as the mega hit Gajini pair will set the big screen on fire again.
