Even before she could celebrate the box office success of her last film, actress Asin Thottumkal seems to be bogged down by a fresh set of problems these days. According to sources close to the actress, the London visa of almost all her staff members have been delayed, forcing her to fly there alone for Sajid Khan’s Housefull 2.“Asin has just been informed that no one from her team of make-up persons and stylists have been granted a visa to go and shoot in London. Only Asin’s visa has arrived. She is really worried as it is a long outdoor shooting schedule and no actor these days shoots without their staff members, specially the make-up man because he or she is like a lifeline to the actor,” says a source close to Asin.
But Asin has decided to fly off to London alone because if she is delayed, the whole shooting schedule (which also involves actors Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Rishi Kapoor and Mithun Chakraborty) will be delayed. Asin doesn’t want this to happen.
“She will probably have to rely on somebody else’s make-up person for the time being, to keep the shoots going. Asin doesn’t want to make everybody wait because of her,” says the source, adding that the visa of the staff members might be delayed for more than a week. This means that almost half of the shooting will be over by the time her own staff members reach the venue.
When we tried to get in touch with Asin, one of her close friends reverted, confirming that the visas were delayed. “She is just wishing that her staff’s visas are cleared soon but right now she is preparing to fly off to London,” says the friend.
