A new twist to college drama in Shanaya Kapoor and Alaya F Student of the Year series!
New chapter of Student of the Year
Dharma Productions’ famous franchise is now going to return not as a film but as a web series.
The story that started in 2012 with Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, and Sidharth Malhotra will now be embellished with the fresh enthusiasm of Shanaya Kapoor and Alaya F.
Under Karan Johar’s brand, this series promises to present offbeat college drama with a new-age twist and glamour.
Shanaya and Alaya’s pair
The industry’s popular newcomer actress Shanaya Kapoor will be seen playing a double role in this series.
It is difficult to stop anyone from getting interested after hearing this.
On the other hand, Alaya F’s entry will also be no less interesting.
Both Shanaya and Alaya have never experienced a franchise of this level before, so the chemistry of college banter, friendship and romance between them will be quite exciting.
Direction of Reema Maya
Student of the Year series is going to be directed by Reema Maya, who cannot be beaten for her short film ‘Nocturnal Burger’.
After receiving immense praise at Sundance, she will now give her surprise package to Karan Johar’s world.
Johar himself says, “This is my franchise, but it should be heard in Reema’s voice.”
In his words, this direction will create a new illusion, like never before.
Shanaya’s journey
Shanaya Kapoor was originally planned to be launched with this project, but later she got her first chance in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan.
Her acting style in that film brought mixed response.
Now if she gets a chance to play two characters simultaneously in the Student series, then it is expected that the hard work she has put in will show its color.
What will you get in the series?
Spread over six to eight episodes, the story will showcase the college life of four or five new students—college politics, internship tensions, love affairs and the race for rankings.
From betrayals to the ups and downs of the following-a-friend moment, every frame will reflect the vivaciousness of Gen Z.
Remakes of old film songs will be presented as a hidden surprise, so that the fans of the franchise feel nostalgic.
Preparations to find new stars
The search for the male lead is on. After auditions and screen tests, a new name will be cast, so that the college romance takes on full color.
When old stars become new stars, only then the real fun of the franchise come.
Karan Johar’s confidence
Karan Johar has expressed his full confidence in this series.
He believes in bringing new talent to the fore and says, “This series will not only be glamorous but will also become a digital powerhouse.”
His dedication has always driven innovation in the industry.
The Student of the Year web series will not only showcase the ins and outs of college drama but will also give a real taste of teenage life with fresh faces, bold storytelling and fresh music.
With Shanaya Kapoor-Alaya F’s tuning and Reema Maya’s direction, this new chapter will fly with the same beats that the franchise gave us in 2012.
Gen Z, get ready, college holidays have never been so colourful!
