Aswathy - Fazil’s new Girl

Fazil, one of the most reputed directors in Malayalam cinema has chosen a new girl Aswathy to be his heroine in his next film with Dileep due for Christmas. Fazil or Paachika as he is affectionately known has a track record over the years for introducing new girls to Malayalam cinema. He is the man who discovered Poornima Jayaram, Nadiya Moidu and Shalini. His new discovery Aswathy is a final year degree student at the prestigious St Theresa college in Kochi. She is originally from Kozhikode and her father Asokh Kumar works in the gulf. She is very beautiful and is said to be photogenic. “It is an honour to debut in a film directed by Fazil sir, opposite Dileep. Actually I was supposed to be launched in a Tamil film to be made by Fazil sir, but it did not take place,” says the pretty 19 year old Aswathy.
