Asin whose career graph is on a very satisfying path is shuttling between two major projects- Vel in Tamil with Surya and the Hindi version of Gajini.

The shooting of Vel sans Asin has already been completed when she was working in the Hindi film and currently Vel unit is busy capturing her part.

At the sets of Vel, Asin was spotted recounting a hair rising incident while she was shooting in South Africa for Hindi Gajini. She says, “When we were in South Africa, I visited a seal island near Cape Town and as I was feeding the seals, I saw a young man battling for his life in the ocean. As he was wearing heavy boots, he was not able to swim and the efforts of the person who went to rescue him also were in vain. I saw him getting drowned just in front of my eyes and dying. I was completely shaken up and the scene still torments me.”

As regards Hindi Gajini, she says they have completed two song sequences in Namibia where no Indian film has been shot till now. The weather is one of the extreme kinds where the days are very hot and the nights are extremely cold.
