The sequel to Karan Johar's Student Of The Year has been in the news for quite some time now. After Tiger Shroff was finalised as one of the students, two other names have been approached to play the female leads in the sequel.
Disha Patani, who is a familiar name among movie enthusiasts, and TV actress Tara Sutaria have apparently been finalised for the roles, SpotboyE reported. A few months ago, producer Karan Johar had confirmed the news that Shroff had been finalised as the male lead. SOTY 2 will be directed by Puneet Malhotra.
While the students from the previous film, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan were thrilled about the announcement, Alia Bhatt has the best congratulatory message for the new cast:
She wrote: "YAY. I wonder who the lovely girl is? Either way no one better than @iTIGERSHROFF to take the franchise forward!!!"
If there's any truth to this, it will be interesting to see Tiger romance Disha. Even though they have featured in a music video single titled Befikra, those few minutes did not quite explore them as an onscreen pair as they were mostly seen dancing and grooving to the catchy tunes of the track.
Interestingly, Tiger and Disha are rumoured to be a couple off-screen. They have denied dating rumours for long, but each time they step out for a dinner or movie date, the speculations resurface.
On the work front, Shroff is currently working on Munna Michael and will begin Baaghi 2 soon.
