New Delhi: Karan Johar is returning to the silver screen with his directorial venture ‘Student of the Year’. The film stars Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra in lead roles.
The film is going to feature a school with ultra modern facilities where the management has announced a competition to select the best student of the year. This is a competition where only the toughest will survive as it requires tough mental and physical attributes.
The songs of the film are already chartbusters and Karan Johar has left no stone unturned in promoting his film, thus it is expected to receive the initial eyeballs, but after 2-3 days, only content will be able to take the film forward.
Karan Johar has given blockbusters in the past and is known for catering the young audiences. The basic premise is same again, so it would be interesting to see how innovatively he unfolds his bouquet of emotions.
Rohit ‘Vats’ of IBNLive is inside the theater to live tweet the experience of ‘Student of the Year’.
