It is very common in the film industry for fathers and mothers of young actresses to also double up as their personal assistants. While the actors may have professional assistants, it is these dominating and often greedy fathers and mothers who have a final say.
Aarthi Agarwal is one such example. She was the reigning queen in Tollywood at one time. But her bossy and greedy father spoilt her chances by demanding huge sums from potential producers. He used to poke his nose in every affair of Aarthi and this in turn affected her career in Tollywood in a big way.
The young Asin is now facing a similar problem. Her father is also doubling up as her personal assistant. He screens all producers and puts forth his often exorbitant demands.
He does not allow producers to meet her daughter and asks for astronomical sums to sign her up for their films. The situation is so bad that Asin is unable to sign up for any film, thanks to the over enthusiasm and greed shown by her father. At this rate, Asin may not be able to bag any new films in Bollywood, say people close to her.
