Tollywood heartthrob Asin and Bollywood megastar Salman Khan would hardly be the ideal pairing after the previous flick that starred both of them, ‘London Dreams’ didn’t perform well in the theaters. However, Salman was very keen on starring opposite Asin again in Anees Bazmi’s Ready. He was also poised to sign Asin for his sister Alvira’s production ‘Bodyguard’, which is a Tamil remake of Kavalan.
