Asin to romance John

The remake of the South hit Khakha Khakha is all set to hit the floors. After Gautam Menon stepped out of the film and Nishikant Kamath stepped in, Asin has been roped in as the leading lady and she will be paired with John Abraham for the first time.

“Although Genelia was considered for the remake, they dropped the idea as John had already worked in Hook Ya Crook with Genelia and they wanted a fresh pairing. Asin has already worked with Vipul Shah in London Dreams so they decided to sign her. The film is important for John at this stage of his career as his last three films Ashayein, Hook ya Crook and Abbas Tyrewala’s next film have been put on hold for various reasons. John is leaving no stone unturned to see that the film starts as per schedule. The film is now scheduled to go on the floors in May.”
