2 States First Choice: Chetan Bhagat revealed that Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor were not the first choice for ‘2 States’. Earlier the names of some superstars were considered for the film.
Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor won everyone’s hearts with their romance in ‘2 States’. However, he was not the first choice of the film’s makers. Revealing this, author Chetan Bhagat said that at one time, filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj had considered making a film on his book ‘2 States’. He also told who the makers wanted to replace him in the film.
Which actors were the first choice of the makers of ‘2 States’?
Chetan Bhagat said, ‘There was a time when Vishal Bhardwaj was going to make this film. There was a time when the names of Shahrukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka Chopra were discussed. I think the article in the name of everyone from ‘2 States’ had already appeared. To be honest, when they said there was a new director and it was Arjun Kapoor, who had a film and Alia Bhatt had a film, ‘Student of the Year’, I said, ‘Okay,’ but it was not discussed. The casting was great, and it added freshness to the film because they were young actors. If there had been an older actor, I don’t know whether he would have done a good job or not.
