Born in Mumbai, Tara Sutaria has been a VJ with Disney. She has appeared in a lot of Disney shows like Best Of Luck Nikki, The Suite Life of Karan and Kabir, and others. Tara is also a professional dancer and singer and has sung songs for Taare Zameen Par, Guzaarish, David. Suratia has also done many solo shows abroad.
Ananya Pandey is the daughter of Houseful 3 actor Chunky Pandey. Speculations were rife that she is a part of this film for a long time. In an interview, Chunky Pandey told Mumbai Mirror, "My daughter is a born actor. She wouldn't have been born if she wasn't an actor." He spoke about going to Ananya's sets and being introduced as her father. "I would rather see her on the screen but if she invites me on the sets I'll surely go. I wouldn't want to break her chain of thought. My father Dr. Sharad Panday was an accomplished heart surgeon. One day, at a function, someone mentioned that he was actor Chunky Panday's dad. He told me that was the proudest moment of his life. When I'm introduced as my kids' father, it will be my proudest moment too." Chunky added.
While Student Of The Year was debut vehicles for Alia Bhatt, Siddharth Malhotra, and Varun Dhawan, the sequel will be a turning point for Tara and Ananya.
