If the buzz from Kollywood is to be believed, Asin is likely to play the female lead in Kamal Haasan’s next film Thalaivan Irukkiran. As per the reports, this film will be directed by Shankar. Earlier there were reports that Katrina Kaif will play the female lead in it.

The latest news says that Asin is the frontrunner to bag this role. Asin earlier starred in Kamal’s Dasavatharam and they share a good professional relationship. Kamal is currently busy with Viswa Roopam and he hasn’t yet told anything about Thalaivan Irukkiran.

If Asin really bags this film, then it would surely be a booster to her career in South. She is hardly getting offers from South filmmakers in the recent past.
