Chetan Bhagat considering sequel to his book '2 States'

Darpan News Desk IANS, 08 Apr, 2014 11:37 AM
  • Chetan Bhagat considering sequel to his book '2 States'
Chetan Bhagat's novel "2 States" has been adapted into a film and the author now has plans to come out with a sequel to his story about the romantic journey of a culturally opposite couple.
 
"I really consider doing a sequel to '2 States' but I am not doing it right now. I have never done a sequel to any of my books but I thought this one could make it," the 39-year-old said here Monday at the launch of the new cover of "2 States."
 
"I have the tagline for it 'Getting married was the easy part'," he added.
 
Bhagat wants to take out more pages of his life for his future books.
 
"I think I like to now do things out of my life. As a writer develops, it's better to do other fictional stories. But I haven't done anything on my banking days, I haven't done anything on my Bollywood days... fatherhood. So, there is a lot left," the author said.
 
"But I think it is difficult because you have to get used to the idea that your own life has been used to create a story which is now going to turn into a movie. It takes a lot out of you and it is not easy," he added.
 
The author's "The 3 Mistakes Of My Life" was also adapted into a film titled "Kai Po Che!".
