However, the controversy has risen regarding the female lead. A buzz is doing the rounds that producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director Siddharth are already in a fall out regarding the leading lady. They are willing to cast Deepika Padukone in the lead role as they feel that she can justify the character of a South Indian girl better than Priyanka Chopra.
Moreover, Deepika and Saif have been loved by the audience as a onscreen couple in the movie Love Aaj Kal, in which Saif played a Punjabi man for the first time. Their chemistry looked good onscreen so the same pair may work well in '2 States' too.
However, the makers are not in a mood to disclose the cast officially at this moment because everything is at a very initial stage now. We, too, agree with the producer and the director that Deepika will be appropriate and will fit in better than Priyanka when the role demands a South Indian girl.
