When actress Alia Bhatt announced on February 26 she was getting 'engaged' on Twitter, the trailer of 2 States became the one we most wanted to see. Just released, the trailer stars Alia and her rumoured real-life boyfriend Arjun Kapoor as lovers from two ends of India.
The north-south divide is a subject that has been explored multiple times in our movies, be it the emotional Ek Duje Ke Liye or the quirky Chennai Express. This version of cross-culture love is based on author Chetan Bhagat's novel 2 States: The Story Of My Marriage.
The trailer shows Tamil Ananya and Punjabi Krish - the characters played by Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor - at various stages in their relationship.
