Newcomer to join SRK in 'Two States'

Director Vishal Bhardwaj will reportedly launch a "new face" opposite Shah Rukh Khan Two States.

The film adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel originally had Saif Ali Khan in the lead with
Siddharth Anand as director before alleged script differences led to the film being called off.

The project was resumed with Bhardwaj at the helm and Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, with Priyanka Chopra or Aishwarya Rai both purportedly being considered for the female lead.

According to the Times of India the director is looking to cast an unknown actress in the film.

"It's neither Ash nor Priyanka. Vishal and SRK think it's best to launch a new face," a source told the paper.
