Shah Rukh Khan has been signed by Sajid Nadiadwala for the screen adaptation of Chetan Bhagats Two States. The film would be directed by Vishal Bhardwaj which is again a first.

Says our source who broke the news, This announcement is going to shock quite a few. All this while one had been hearing about Saif Ali Khan to act in 'Two States' adaptation which was to be directed by Siddharth Anand. Sajid Nadiadwala had the rights and while there was an announcement in this regard a few weeks back, there was some road block as the screenplay was taking some time to shape up.

However, this sudden development means that the film has now taken an entirely new dimension. While Saif and Siddharth (who had earlier collaborated on Salaam Namaste and Ta Ra Rum Pum) are no more associated with the project, a long standing wait of watching Shah Rukh Khan in a Vishal Bhardwaj film is also over.

That's right, continues our source, For a long time Shah Rukh Khan and Vishal Bhardwaj wanted to work with each other. In fact there were also rumours of how both of them were upset with each other during one of the films that they wanted to make earlier. There were some creative differences pertaining to the script and both had to part ways as they couldn't converge at a common point.

The duo still didn't give up on the idea of working together. In fact a few days back there were also rumours of Shah Rukh and Vishal coming together for the remake of The Departed. However, there is a complete turnaround in the proceedings with Sajid Nadiadwala being the producer who has actually got them together and that too for an altogether different film.
