The rockstar look wasn't an easy one to come about as Vipul reveals, "It took us six styling tests before we finalised this look. It took us six different photo shoots, but I am happy with the final outcome." The look was inspired by Avril Lavigne, the popular teen singing diva. Adds Ashley, "I took inspiration from her long black hair and kajal lined eyes." The look is definitely very gothic, and Ashley did accessorise her in a way that isn't too in your face, yet adds to her punk character in the film. Ashley explains, "I gave her a lot of bangles, played around with ganji's and jackets, those 70's headbands and fishnet stockings."

For Asin, who has never carried such a look before, she had complete faith in Ashley’s capabilities. “She trusted me completely and in fact we shopped together in London, along with my nieces who are from the U.K and Rinkie Khanna who everyone knows is a style icon, Read More">” Ashley says.

For Asin, who has never carried such a look before, she had complete faith in Ashley's capabilities. "She trusted me completely and in fact we shopped together in London, along with my nieces who are from the U.K and Rinkie Khanna who everyone knows is a style icon," Ashley says. Even though the audience do have an image of Asin being a simple Indian girl Ashley was unperturbed by that. "I was not concerned by her image, I just knew she has to look like the girl from London."

Both Ashley and Vipul are happy with the way Asin's character has come out finally and can't wait for the audience's reaction which they are confident is going to be positive. As Ashley himself experienced, "I took some pictures of Asin after I styled her and showed it to my friends, they were really impressed with her new look."

Vipul wanted to cast a new face opposite Salman and Ajay, a lady who they have never romanced onscreen and Asin seemed just the fit. A film based on the love for music, Asin would be seen as a dancer who has two sides to her onscreen life. A traditional girl at home and a rockstar outside while pursuing her dreams. Ashley Rebello who styled these two different looks for Asin explains, "She plays a dual girl in the film. So for the homely girl, I kept a very conservative look with zardozi border and a very simple look while for the other side of her I kept it very gothic, kajal eyed, put together look."

The southern sally, Asin, of Bollywood is soon going to be seen in an avatar never been tested in the Indian waters before. From being the bubbly girl next door in Ghajini she's all out to take your breath away in London Dreams. We give you the lowdown.

One look at the stills of London Dreams, it's not hard to imagine what Asin is bringing to the table. It's a far cry from her past roles of a sweet young girl, who couldn't even dream to hurt a fly. This one sure means business. It's outdoorsy, edgy and comes in with bucketful of attitude.

Priya, the character played by Asin in the film is of a girl belonging to a south Indian family but is born and brought up in London. Her love for music and dance is what makes her part of a rock band by the name of 'London Dreams'. Considering this Ghajini girl has always been seen as the 'girl next door', director Vipul Shah puts all doubts to rest as while explaining her latest transformation to a rocker girl. States Vipul, "In Ghajini, everyone saw Asin's acting capabilities, in my film everyone will see her dancing skills, not only classical but even western." He continues, "Madhuri had the 'girl next door' quality, so do Rani and Priyanka, but they all are capable of looking sensuous and sexy. Asin also has an added advantage of her freshness".
