The time when Asin took deep breath after Dhoni got married to Sakshi Rawat beside's his relationship with Asin which was a rumour and there arised another problem for Asin shooting in Srilanka for Anees Bazmee’s 'Ready' with Salman Khan.Pollitical parties in Tamil Nadu are against her visit to Srilanka.
Asin speaking to BT Colombo said, "I’m truly upset that certain political groups in Tamil Nadu are targetting me for my decision to shoot a film in Sri Lanka."
Asin questioned, “How can I be targetted for this decision? Ready was supposed to be shot in Mauritius, Thailand and then, Goa. Till a few days before the shoot, I didn’t even know the final destination. When I heard it was Sri Lanka, I did express my concern to the producer and the director. While they understood my predicament, they too couldn’t change the shooting location because things had already been planned."
The actress, who has further shoots in Tamil Nadu for her film kaavalkaran with Vijay is much worried about facing certain political parties over there.“Art should not be politicised and actors shouldn’t be made to bear the brunt of political animosity because we are truly ambassadors of peace. I’m making an effort to reach out to the troubled Tamil community in Sri Lanka; and I think by being in their midst, I’m bringing a smile to their faces. I just hope others see this as a peace-building exercise,” she said.
Asin added that actors aren’t the only ones who are trying to build bridges. “On an average, there are six flights connecting Chennai to Colombo every day. Our cricket team visits Lanka, too. Then why is it that when an actor comes to shoot in Sri Lanka, people start some kind of propaganda?” asked the actress.
