Student Of The Year 2: Tiger Shroff Starrer To Hit Theatres On November 23

Karan Johar on Wednesday announced the release date of the sequel of his 2012 hit Student Of The Year. Titled, Student Of The Year 2, the film stars Tiger Shroff in the lead role.

Johar took to Twitter to share the release date and also revealed that he will announce "the two new leading ladies" of the movie next month. Earlier, there were reports that the filmmaker might have shortlisted Chunky Panday's daughter Ananya Panday for one of the parts. A source was quoted as saying, “Karan, Tiger Shroff and director Punit Malhotra were present at the audition where Ananya was asked to read out Alia’s lines from Student Of The Year. And Ananya sailed through like a professional. Karan immediately decided to cast her."

"SOTY 2 will release worldwide on the 23rd of NOVEMBER 2018! The two new leading ladies will be announced next month! The franchise forges ahead under the baton of director @punitdmalhotra ...@foxstarhindi @apoorvamehta18 @iTIGERSHROFF," Johar wrote on Twitter.

Interestingly Saif Ali Khan-Amrita Singh's daughter Sara Ali Khan and Sridevi-Boney Kapoor's daughter Jahnvi Kapoor were also considered for the part. But with Sara choosing Kedarnath opposite Sushant Singh Rajput and Jahnvi opting for Dhadak alongside Ishaan Khatter, things fell into place for Ananya. “Saif and Amrita’s daughter Sara and Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Jhanvi were also considered for Student Of The Year. But the idea was dropped. Chunky Pandey’s daughter Ananya has now been chosen,” had revealed the source.
