Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, And Arjun Kapoor celebrated 10 years of ‘2 States’ with heart-warming posts.
Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor’s ‘2 States’, directed by Abhishek Varman, was released in cinemas in April 18, 2014. The Bollywood movie, based on Chetan Bhagat's best-selling novel of the same name, is easily one of the best romantic comedy-drama movies to come out of India. The movie, produced by Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala, explored the challenges and joys of intercultural relationships in modern India. With a relatable storyline, the film struck a chord with audiences by blending humour, drama, and romance seamlessly.
It followed the love story of Krish Malhotra (Arjun Kapoor), a Punjabi boy, and Ananya Swaminathan (Alia Bhatt), a Tamil girl, as they navigate the complexities of their cultural differences and parental expectations while making their careers.
As ‘2 States’ completed 10 years of release today, Arjun Kapoor shared a heart-warming video dedicated to the 2014 Hindi movie. Sharing the post, he wrote, “10 years, countless emotions.”
