After creating a lasting impression in Telugu, Asin has stormed Kollywood with a hit film M.Kumaran S/o Mahalakshmi. Having faced initial hiccups with her debut movie Ullam Ketkumae still lying in the cans and her Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikalam with Surya stalled, Asin has proved her critics wrong that she is an unlucky actress. Before Asin could even realize it she is flooded with offers in Tamil making her a strong contender for the top slot.
