Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor are going to be seen together
for the first time in Sajid Nadiadwala’s
2 States. The movie is based on a novel by Chetan Bhagat. The story is about a
couple that falls in love when they meet at the IIMA campus and how they face
difficulties when they want to take their relationship to the next level. Because
in India, marriage is not the union of two souls, it is the union of two
families. If a boy and a girl want to get married, they have to like each
other, they have to be liked by each other’s parents and their families also
have to like each other. Once all these obstacles are cleared, if you still
love each other, you can get your happily ever after.
Alia and Arjun, who play the characters of a South Indian
Tamilian Brahmin girl and a North Indian Punjabi boy, will be seen doing some
intimate scenes in this Sajid Nadiadwala
movie. A source close to the film said, "There are two-three kissing
scenes in the film. Both Arjun and Alia were completely comfortable while
shooting for them. There was no intention to exploit the rumours of their
relationship.” The comfort level that
the two actors share is because they have gotten along very well during the
shooting of this film and have in fact become very good friends. They have been
spotted together at many public events as well. Speaking about her relationship
with the actor, Alia said, "He (Arjun) has a very special place in my
life...we were shooting for Highway and 2 States around the same time. He
became a good friend of mine. He is a funny person and has a good sense of
humour.”
2 States is directed by Abhishek Varman and co-produced by Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson
Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. The film also has Shiv
Kumar Subramaniam and Revathi as Alia Bhatt’s parents while Arjun’s
parents are played by Amrita Singh and Ronit Roy. It is set to hit the
theatres on the 18th of April 2014.
