SAIF ALI KHAN IN CHETAN BHAGAT'S "2STATES"

                

After 'One Night At The Call Centre' and '3 Idiots' another Chetan Bhagat’s novel is going to make as a film i.e, '2 States'. Siddharth Anand directing this un-titled film with Saif Ali Khan. '2 States' story about Punjabi who will marry his Tamilian.

Saif Ali Khan has been chosen to play the lead and the actor plans to spend time with Chetan Bhagat to understand his character, Krish, and get into Krish’s mind. Says Bhagat on the film, “It is not important for Krish to be played by a Punjabi or Ananya to be played by a Tamilian. I’m aware Saif is not a Punjabi. To me that serves the story’s purpose even better. The whole idea of 2 States is to convey a pan-India appeal. The novel is about an inter-state union. What better way to show this than to have a non-Punjabi actor playing my Punjabi protagonist?”

Bhagat admits that 2 States is his most personal novel to date and the screen adaptation most precious to him.
