Why Mukesh Bhatt called Asin a 'third grade actress'?

Wondering what prompted film producer Mukesh Bhatt to launch a full-fledged verbal attack against actor Asin on a TV channel, saying that ‘she has no future in Bollywood’?

The  reason apparently is that the film producer did not take kindly to the fact that actor Asin refused  his offer of a ‘low budget’ film, according to a source. According to Asin’s close friends, Mukesh tried to get in touch with Asin through his agents for a film that probably had a “third grade actor” as a hero along with their in-house hero Emraan Hashmi.

“At this age, if people like Mukesh Bhatt are deciding the fate of heroines in Bollywood, then God save our industry,” says a casting agent who worked with the Bhatts once.

The actor’s spokesperson said that they are aware of the statements made against Asin, but prefer not to react to it.
“We are sure that Mukesh will now deny making an offer to Asin that had a  pre-fixed acting fees lower than her market price. Besides the sleaze element in it, Asin also had to romance a hero who’s not an A-lister. So, naturally it was a lose-lose situation for her,” the source adds.
