Asin in Chennai. Red carpet rolled

Asin, after all the controversy over her visit to Sri Lanka and coo chi cooing with the government forces there is back at work and that too in Chennai. Tamil community was outraged at Asin’s visit to Sri Lanka and moving in the company of the President’s wife in military helicopter. Asin was able to go to areas declared high security zones and are banned even for international media and NGOs.

Asin with all her courage poo poohed the unity call of Tamil film industry and resumed her work for Vijay's film 'Kaaval Kaadhal'. The actress was seen shooting with Vijay in RCR region of Chennai with out any protest even to the minimum.

Does this mean the problem is over and Asin will not be troubled anymore? Was Asin right from the beginning when she daringly challenged the dictates of FEFSI? Will more stars be allowed to go to Sri Lanka in future? How are they planning to tackle the ban call given by the Tamil communities outside India including the largest Tamil organization FeTNA?

It’s good to have plans to cross the bridge even before they reach the bridge.

FeTNA bans Asin Thottumkal's movies

Asin Thottumkal's Sri Lankan visit is turning out to be a nightmare for the actress as Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America (FeTNA) has decided to boycott her movies. Asin, who went to the Island nation for the Bollywood movie Ready is facing the wrath of Tamil organizations.

“The Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America will boycott films of Asin because of her visit to Sri Lanka despite a ban by the Tamil film industry.” Indiatimes quoted FeTNA chief Palani Sundaram as saying.

FeTNA is an umbrella organization of many local North American Tamil organizations. It represents more than 30 local organizations.

Now, South Indian Film Artistes Association (SIFAA) has formed a committee to look into this matter. Meanwhile, Asin says that she has already spoken to SIFAA chief Sarath Kumar and she will respect committees stand on her Sri Lankan visit.

Earlier, SIFAA had warned actors not to travel to Colombo for IIFA awards and threaten to boycott film festival. Many actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Namitha, Genelia and others cancelled their trip at the eleventh hour. But, the stars like Salman Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Lara Dutta and others attended film fest and now they have been banned. (OI)
