Karan Johar is going back to his tried-and-tested college romance with Student Of The Year. Making their debut in Karan’s directorial venture are Siddharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt & Varun Dhawan.
Though we don’t know much about newbie Siddharth Malhotra…
…the fresh-faced Alia Bhatt is filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s 17-year old daughter.
Another star-child making his debut in ‘Student Of The Year’ is Varun Dhawan, director David Dhawan’s 23-year old son.
The last time Karan directed a teenage-romance was in his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol & Rani Mukherjee. Surprisingly, this is the first film Karan Johar is directing without his best friend, Shah Rukh Khan. But if its any consolation, the film is a joint production by SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment and KJo’s Dharma Productions.
