Here Box Office Worldwide brings you EXCLUSIVE on the same!
From The Bads Of Bollywood To Student Of The Year 3
Shaumik became the breakout star of Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Bads of Bollywood on Netflix. Playing the role of Shaumik Talvar, Bobby Deol’s son in the series, he delivered a performance that had audiences talking. His character became one of the most discussed aspects of the show, with fans both loving and hating his complex portrayal. Now, he is ready to take on the iconic Student of the Year franchise alongside rising star Shanaya Kapoor.
Student Of The Year Goes Digital
Karan Johar confirmed earlier this year at the Cinevesture International Film Festival in Chandigarh that Student of the Year 3 would break away from tradition. Unlike the first two films that launched careers on the big screen, this installment will arrive as a web series. The digital version will be helmed by internationally acclaimed director Reema Maya, known for her critically appreciated short film Nocturnal Burger.
Shanaya Kapoor’s Double Role Challenge
Reports suggest that Shanaya Kapoor will reportedly take on a challenging double role in the series. This would be a first for the franchise and promises to add an exciting layer of drama and intrigue to the storyline. After facing delays with her initially planned debut film Bedhadak, which was shelved, Shanaya finally gets her moment to shine in this highly anticipated project. The series began filming in April 2025, bringing fresh energy to the beloved franchise.
The Legacy Continues
The Student of the Year franchise has historically been a launchpad for young talent in Bollywood. The first film introduced Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, and Alia Bhatt to audiences in 2012. The second installment brought Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria into the spotlight alongside Tiger Shroff in 2019. Now, with Shaumik and Shanaya leading the charge, the series promises to continue this legacy of discovering fresh faces.
What To Expect
With Reema Maya at the helm and a talented young cast, Student of the Year 3 promises to deliver all the classic elements fans love. Expect campus drama, intense rivalries, budding friendships, ambitious dreams, and plenty of romance. The shift to the digital format allows for deeper storytelling and character development, giving audiences more time to connect with these new students. Alaya F has also reportedly joined the cast, adding another exciting name to the ensemble.
About Student Of The Year 3
Student of the Year 3 is directed by Reema Maya, produced by Dharma Productions. The web series is set to premiere on a major OTT platform in 2025.
