Shivani, daughter of Rajasekhar and Jeevitha is finally joining the films with official remake of 2 States, a movie based on the novel of same name from author Chetan Bhagat. The film stood a blockbuster in North Indian circuit, thanks to the refreshing lead pair in Alia Bhatt, Arjun Kapoor though Ali ran away with all accolades.
Now that the idea of 2 States script to be modified for Telugu nativity is a good idea from debutant director Venkat Reddy, protégé of VV Vinayak but how far can Shivani match the ease, spontaneity and natural freshness of Ali will decide her future in Tollywood.
A section of industry circles are of an opinion that, Rajasekhar has let her daughter to take a very big challenge with first project. When comparisons are ought to come between the remake and original, audience and critics are obviously to point the finger first on Alia-Shivani.
Adivi Sesh is though a recognizable face in Telugu states but the film will surely stand alone on Shivani shoulders.
