Monday, 21st April 2014, 04:30 PM IST ‘2 States’ is being well accepted at the box-office and novelist-turned-screenplay writer Chetan Bhagat is on cloud nine. The writer is currently working with Rajkumar Gupta on the screen adaptation of his recent novel, ‘Revolution 2020’.
Speaking about the film, he said, “I'll be involved with this film too, but this time, I chose not to write the screenplay because I get too close to the content. We're scouting for two actors and an actress since the story revolves around three young people.”
Chetan admits that he's smitten by Alia Bhatt,who played his wife's role in his semi-autobiographical film ‘2 States’. Looking at her talent, he feels that the actress can play Aarti in ‘Revolution 2020’ too, “Alia is a fabulous actress and after watching ‘2 States’, I feel she can fit into the mould of any heroine I conceptualize. Yes, she'd be perfect to play Aarti but nothing has been decided as yet,” he said. ‘Revolution 2020’ is a love triangle that revolves around three characters Gopal, Aarti and Raghav, and is set against the backdrop of Varanasi's politics. |
