MUMBAI:
After a lot of speculation, Karan Johar has teamed up
with Sajid Nadiadwala in Chetan Bhagat’s adaptation
of ‘2 States’.
The
producers have zeroed in on Arjun Kapoor to play the
lead role in the film which will be directed by debutant
Abhishek Verman, son of veteran art director R Verman.
It
may be recollected that Nadiadwala had bought the rights
of the Chetan Bhagat book and had initially planned
to make the film with SRK that was to be directed by
Vishal Bhardwaj.
However,
plans fizzled out after which Ranbir Kapoor stepped
in and it was only then that it was decided to have
a co-production with Karan Johar’s company Dharma
Productions. Later, Imran Khan stepped in; however,
he too opted out due to date problems.
It
is being said that Kapoor will play a typical Delhi
boy who falls in love with a south Indian girl.
