According to TOI seems like Alia Bhatt, has landed the role in 2 States opposite Arjun Kapoor.
A source close to the project said, "Karan Johar will make an official announcement about Alia being in 2 States only after SOTY hits theatres".
KJo is impressed with Alia's acting abilities. "She seems to be a bundle of talent. Which is why KJo is backing her," the source pointed out.
@ bold - So basically, he's waiting to see whether Alia gets rave reviews for her performance and if the movie clicks with the audience. If all that backfires, then I think we'll read about another possible candidate for this role. 😆
