Asin opposite John in Khakha Khakha remake?

Popular South Indian beauty Asin is reported to be the heroine opposite John Abraham in the Hindi remake of master filmmaker Gautham Menon's super hit cop story Khakha Khakha (Tamil), starring Suriya and his actress-wife Jyotika.

The shooting of this untitled Hindi remake is all set to begin in May under the direction of Nishikant Kamath. The original director Gautam Menon was originally expected to direct the Hindi version, but he stepped out of the project for some reasons.

"Although Genelia was considered for the remake, they dropped the idea as John had already worked with Genelia in Hook Ya Crook 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," a source close to the makers was quoted as saying.
