– Why they choose to work in the movie 2 states ?
Arjun: He started first with Ishaqzaade, and that character is a violent, rash, aggressive and he is completely opposite of that in real life.

And the movie 2 States from Abhishek verman completely matched his interests. He liked much the script of this movie. He speaks about the family values, its importance and concern that we have in our life. And states that the film is a balanced one taking all such family traits and traditions into account.
Alia: She had no idea about 2 states during her shooting of the movie Student of the year (SOTY). 2 States director Abhishek Verman was the creative director of SOTY. At that time, she didn’t thought to work but after reading the book 2 States, she made up her mind to work on the movie.
Arjun shares an experience of their look test for the movie. He lifted Alia by surprise upon which she became frightened. But sooner, they became comfortable.

Alia: At home, her family used to not speak much about films..Mahesh Bhatt is her father only and not the director, and only after she became an actor, her father became ‘Mahesh Bhatt’ (the director)..
Anupama: She speaks about his uncle – Anil Kapoor charishma being dimished now. It has been great in the past but has been declining, she asks reasons for this ?
Arjun: He tells that nowadays actors are more commonly seen and easily accessible. But at that time, there was not much opportunity for people to meet stars/actors. Hence, the feeling to catch of glimpse of an actor is not much now.
Anupama: speaks on curiosity about his relationships that media have, also discussions are going on ? How does he handle that ?
Alia and Arjun: It doesn’t have much effect on them..
Alia: says that speculations are fine and you can’t help much.
Arjun: They need to understand carefully before writing a story which is not true on his relationships. He has stopped clarifying on his relationship with actors like Alia. They are friends. The audience is intelligent and doesn’t try to find correlations between actors’s personal and professional life.
Anupama: That he was not ambitious before, but after his mother’s demise, he became very ambitious ? How that change happen to him ?
Arjun: During his first break with YRF’s Ishaqzaade, his mother passed away. Then, he understood that by working hard he can fill that vaccum in his life. Hence, he works hard and gets lot of satisfaction with it.
