Her troubles began with London dreams oppsite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn, which flopped at the BO. Recently, Asin was dropped from Vipul Shah's remake of the Tamil hit Kakha Kakha oppsite John Abraham because her character was similar to the one she played in Ghajini. insiders, though, say she lost out because John didn't want to romance her on screen. Now, Asin has reportedly been dropped from Amurag Basuy's Silence starring Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra because she's not tall enough. The role had initially gone to Katrina Kaif, who turned it down because Priyanka's presence was more powerful in the film. This led to Anurag hunting for a new face, for which he held auditions. It was then that the producers asked him to rope in Asin. But the director refused because his requirement is for a girl who is more than 5'8" tall. "He doesn't think Asin will fit the role," said a source.        Even though Asin has lost the chance to work with John and Ranbit, she still has another chance to set the box office on fire        Salman Khan, who had taken a liking to her during the making of London Dreams, is doing Anees Bazmee's Ready  with her.
