Kalaripayattu has improved my concentration: Asin

Asin is getting ready to start shooting for 19th Step directed by Bharat Bala and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. 19th Step also stars Kamal Haasan and Tadanobu Asano. The actress was in Chennai recently to attend a function organized by a company for which she is a brand ambassador.

She also was a part of the photo shoot of 19th Step. Asin is said to be learning the ancient martial art form of Kalaripayattu which originated in Kerala. Her normal day stars at 6.30 a.m. and she is learning under one of the foremost exponents of the art in Thiruvanathapuram.

The actress admits that it is not an easy task, but she is able to manage as she works out every day�which helps her keep fit. Asin also said that a person's concentration improves while learning a martial art form, and she�is all praise�for Kalaripayattu.

The story of 19th Step is written by M.T. Vasudevan Nair, who aims to trace the origin of the ancient martial art form in India.

We at Galatta wish Asin and the entire team of 19th Step the very best of luck and hope to see some breathtaking stunts and a fine movie!
