I don't have an affinity for comedy films: Asin

Highlights

• Having tasted success with light hearted films like Ready and Housefull 2, Asin, who is now anxiously waiting for the comedy Bol Bachchan to release, said it is just a coincidence that she has all bubbly movies in her kitty.
• "It is just a coincidence that Ready, Housefull 2 and Bol Bachchan have come back-to-back. It is not that I have special affinity towards them that I end up choosing them. It is not that I want to do only comedy or I have affinity for comedy or that I want to prove myself in comedy," Asin told PTI.
• After Anees Bazmee's Ready opposite Salman Khan and Sajid Khan's multi-starrer comedy Housefull 2, Asin will be seen in Rohit Shetty's Bol Bachchan alongside Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan and Prachi Desai.
• The film is set to release on July 6.
• "Coincidentally comedies have come my way but it is not that I have consciously chosen them. I am quite comfortable with comedy and I like doing it, especially when I have great co-stars, it's fun to do and is entertaining," she said.
• But the southern beauty does not want to restrict herself to comedies. She wants to explore other genres as well, especially a romantic-comedy.
• "I do feel that my entire side as an actor has not come out considering I am doing back-to-back comedies. I would be happy if something different comes my way. I wish I could do other things, work in other genres but it is not a one-man show. I will have to wait for someone to write a script which is different, which gives me scope for performance and takes me out of the world," Asin said.
• "I will like to try other genres and characters but within the commercial format only. I am ok with drama or romantic comedies," Asin said.
• "I have a soft corner for rom-com. But as of now nothing interesting in this format has come my way," she added.
• Asked if she would like to romance Shah Rukh Khan in a movie, she said, "Of course I want to work with Shah Rukh. I am just waiting for right kind of project to come my way."
• Asin has worked with two Khans already, once with Aamir in Ghajini and twice with Salman in London Dreams and Ready.
• Her name has been cropping up time and again for the forthcoming film based on Chetan Bhagat's book 2 States: The Story of My Marriage, said to be jointly produced by Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala.
• Debutant Abhishek Varman, who worked with Karan on My Name is Khan and is also the creative director of Student of the Year, will direct Two States.
• "I don't know, you will have to ask the makers about it. Even I am hearing rumours about it. I have read Two States and I found it very entertaining. Lot of people told me it would be nice if I play that role because of south culture. But the makers haven't approached me yet."
• As of now, newcomer Arjun Kapoor has been zeroed in for the male role, while the leading lady is yet to finalised.
• Till now, Asin has only worked with top notch actors of B-town, including Aamir, Salman, Ajay and Akshay Kumar, but she desires to work with the younger lot of actors too.
• "I want to work with younger actors. Why not? Even if you are friendly with your co-star, there is always a sense of respect and admiration with which you look at them. Probably working with actors of my generation would be more fun," Asin said.
• She will be paired opposite Akshay for the second time in Khiladi 786, an action comedy.
• "I have Khiladi 786, we just completed one schedule of the film with Akshay Kumar. It is an action-comedy. It's lot of fun doing the film," she added.
