Saif Ali Khan is set to act in Biographical character

Saif Ali Khan is all set to play his first biographical character in Siddharth Anand’s “2 States”, a film adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s book, based on his own real-life experience, of a Punjabi boy who wants to marry his Tamil sweetheart but only with the consent of both their parents.

Saif is expected to spend time with Chetan Bhagat to understand his character, Krish, and get into Krish’s mind. In real life too, Saif is all set to get into a cross-cultural marriage and “2 States” will be quite a learning curve for him.

Bhagat would like to exercise a more close vigil over the casting of the protagonists than he did in his novels’ other movie adaptations like “Hello” (”One Night At The Call Centre”) and “3 Idiots” (”5 Point Someone”). In both these cases Bhagat had no say. And he liked it that way.
