She was fifteen at the time.
Her next film was 2003's Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi, a Tollywood film directed by Puri Jagannadh.
Asin's first Bollywood project was 2008's Ghajini, which. interestingly enough, is a remake of the 2005 Tamil of the same name that also starred Asin.
And Ghajini itself was based on the 2000 Hollywood film, Memento.
