Karan Johar has been grabbing news headlines and a chunk of the spotlight recently with his fifth directorial venture titled Student of the Year just around the corner. This will be his first movie without Bollywood bigwig Shah Rukh Khan. All of Karan Johar's previous films including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is Khan (2010) have had the superstar. Instead, Student of the Year will star three newcomers in the lead including Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. Most movie buffs might've sniffed out the Student of the Year plot by now.
While Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan both come from families based strongly in tinsel-town, model-turned-actor Siddharth Malhotra has no industry background and has worked hard for his upcoming debut. Quoting Siddharth, "I have nothing to fall back on, for them (Alia and Varun) they can take guidance from their parents but I can't even discuss anything with my parents as they know nothing about the industry.
I have to work harder and be more attentive because I don't have an option. So it does make it tougher." The actor started his career as a model at the early age of 16 and has won several titles including the Gladrags Face of the Year 2009 award and the NDTV Model of the Year 2010. He has also walked the runway for Indian and international designers including Manish Arora, Manish Malhotra and Rohit Bal. Before Student of the Year, Siddharth auditioned for a film that failed to take off.
Contrary to rumors that have been scattering around recently, Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan happen to be good friends. The two have worked together as Assistant Directors for the film My Name Is Khan, directed by Karan Johar, and were together mentored by the veteran director. While Siddharth Malhotra is a model-turned-actor, Varun Dhawan is the son of the director David Dhawan. Also, Siddharth and Varun will be seen on the big-screen for the first time together with co-star Alia Bhatt.
The daughter of director Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan, Alia Bhatt fainted on the sets of the upcoming Karan Johar film 14 times, unable to cope with the cold and fatigue. However, none of this deterred the actor from unleashing an exceptional performance for the film. Karan Johar has been stated to have auditioned nearly 400 hopefuls before signing Alia for the film.
