After uniting with Priyanka Chopra in Kaminey and 7 Khoon Maaf, it seems that Composer turned filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj got enough of Piggy Chops. If sources close to Vishal and Sajid Nadiadwala are to be believed then south sensation [Telugu top actress] Ileana is the front runner to be cast opposite King Khan in Two states.
Sajid already announced that he's going to make a film on the acclaimed Chetan Bhagat's book "Two states" based on cross state border love story. The mantle was given to Vishal Bharadwaj to adapt it and the makers suggested initially that they want a face from south, who'll do justice to the role of Ananya Swaminathan [lead character from the book].
It seems that after not getting a preferred choice they opted for Piggy Chops. But after Sajid's Anjaana Anjaani and Vishal's 7 Khoon Maaf failed at the BO, the makers dropped the idea of casting PC opposite SRK citing that both are already working in Don 2- the chase begins, so the idea of fresh pairing will be lost.
So as of now its Ileana, the lucky girl to feature alongside My Name is Khan Star. Hopefully there won't be any cold vibes between PC and Ileana as both are slated to work alongside Ranbir in Anurag Basu's Barfee.
As of now the Goan beauty needs to sign the dotted line to be in Two states.Certainly a great start for Ileana to shape up her career in Bollywood after denying so many scripts from Bollywood filmmakers. Wish Ileana's career to take off as Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma career did [both of them made their debut alongside SRK].
