Asin, Priyanka or Deepika ?




Imran Khan will be playing the lead role of one of Chetan Bhagat's Best seller 2 states.

But we wonder who will play Anusha aka Ananya's role?? Top three actresses Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Asin have been considered for the same. It is said that Deepika and Asin stand a better chance than Priyanka Chopra since the female lead is a Tamil Brahmin and both are south indians.

Even for the male lead Shahrukh Khan was considered first but later Imran Khan was finalized and Imran fits the role of a college going Punjabi man better than 46 year old Shah Rukh Khan.

According to sources, Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar will start working on the film soon. The movie will go on floors next year.

There were alot of rumours ever since Sajid Nadiadwala bought the rights of the book immediately after its release in the year 2009, on who would play the lead roles in the movie.

2 States: The Story of My Marriage is a 2009 novel written by Chetan Bhagat. It is the story about a couple coming from two different states in India, who face hardships in convincing their parents for approval of their marriage. The novel is a fiction, but is said to be inspired from the real story of the author and his wife Anusha who are from Delhi and Tamil Nadu, respectively.

Imran to play lead role in 2 states




The lead role of one of Chetan Bhagat's Best seller 2 states will be played by non other than Mr. Perfectionist's nephew Imran Khan.

According to sources, Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar will start working on the film soon. The movie will go on floors next year and Imran Khan will play a Punjabi munda in the film. The female lead Anusha aka Ananya for the film is yet to be decided.

There were alot of rumours ever since Sajid Nadiadwala bought the rights of the book immediately after its release in the year 2009, on who would play the lead roles in the movie.

A source said that, "Sajid had bought the rights of the film a couple of years back. It was to be directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, with Shah Rukh Khan playing the lead. However, talks fizzled out. After that, Karan stepped in as the co-producer and Ranbir Kapoor agreed to topline it. But Kapoor`s involvement didn`t work out and the project was put on the backburner."

The source added, “Imran is the new star on the block and with a slew of hits to his credit, he is as bankable as any other top star. Karan was keen to have Imran on board. The actor takes his time to commit to any film. But he loved the script of 2 States and gave his nod to the film, which is expected to start early next year.”
