Asin’s father Joseph Thottukmal is being the supportive father by filling in for daughter Asin’s absence from meetings with her London Dreams co-star Salman Khan and director Vipul Shah. Reason? The once warm relationship between Joseph Thottukmal’s darling daughter and Salman have soured because of which he has been representing her when discussing the promotions of the forthcoming film with Salman and Vipul. This, despite the fact that Joseph Thottukmal had taken a sabbatical due to his ill health some months ago. While it is still not known what exactly went wrong between Salman and Asin in the short time that they have known each other, our source says, “Asin’s father is taking an active interest in the promotions of London Dreams but this does not imply that Asin is not a part of the publicity discussions. Asin is very much in the loop as she does meet Vipul Shah for the same, but she never meets him when Salman is around. She has discussions with Vipul only when Salman leaves.”
Consequently, Vipul has to discuss and explain things twice. Once to Salman and then to Asin. “Very often, Vipul has to go back and forth between Salman and Asin thereby wasting a lot of time before the two reach a consensus,” adds our source.
After her good equation with Aamir Khan, opposite whom she made her Bollywood debut in Ghajini, followed by being in Salman’s good books all through the shooting of London Dreams, one thought that Asin is the industry’s new blue-eyed girl and will have a smooth career in Bollywood. Guess she has just begun to learn the transient nature of relationships in the industry.
Vipul Shah denied the story. But obviously, after all he has a Rs 75 crore film to promote and cannot alienate either party.
