However, I don't know if apart from work, I am close to Bollywood in any other way. I feel close enough that if I have a project in mind, I can reach a few people and discuss it with them. How close do you feel to Bollywood and its culture now? The fact I could do that means I have, at a certain level, forgiven him. In 2 States, however, the father gets a chance to redeem himself. I have had a difficult relationship with my father. You've said, 2 States helped you to forgive your father. I came on board for the final promotions as the book is popular and it helps the book readers becoming aware of the film.
He has made a wonderful film and credit goes to him and his team. After that, it has been completely director Abhishek Varman's show. I was consulted on all of these and we came to a consensus on what works best. I was only involved in the initial stages, in terms of placing the key members of the team in place, producers, director and the main cast. How closely affiliated are you to this story's journey from your novel to cinema? You've been seen to be closely associated with the marketing of the film, standing up there with Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor. It limits the jumping around one can do as typical of Bollywood films. It is a tough part with the girl she is, playing being an intelligent MBA student and a corporate type later.
In every frame of 2 States, she captivates you in her role as Ananya. How far has she succeeded in bringing alive the character?Īlia is to put it in one word, extraordinary. She has apparently used your wife's dress sense and demeanor as a reference point in 2 States. 2 States is about winning them over, not fighting them.Īlia Bhatt has lately come into mammoth acclaim for her performance in Highway. They are just not on board to accept the match.
2 States is a more modern take, the parents are not going to beat you up. In that film, there is actually violent resistance to the match. How different is 2 States from other Tamil-North Indian love stories like Ek Duuje Ke liye?Įk Duuje Ke Liye is a classic from the 80s. It is also more a 'how to convince family' story so even the romantic bits are limited. Not much of my martial life, as the film ends with the couple getting married. How much of your romantic and marital life would we see in 2 States?
