The filmmakers have decided to release the movie ‘2 States’ on April 18 next year.

‘2 States’ is a romantic story between a Punjabi boy Krish Malhotra and a Tamil girl Ananya Swaminathan.

Author Chetan Bhagat, who was also the alumnus of IIM-Ahmedabad twitted few days back, “Will visit the 2 States film set. And my old college. Oh wait, both are the same today. 2 States – the film, at IIMA today!”
