Karan Johar is set to launch two new faces in Bollywood with Student Of The Year 2, the second installment of his own 2012 directorial, Student Of The Year.
It was known that Tiger Shroff is going to play the lead in the film, but the names of two female leads weren’t disclosed until Wednesday. In fact, the film’s director, Punit Malhotra, had started shooting without finalising the heroines.

The other actor is Tara Sutaria, who has been a part of a few sitcoms including The Suite Life of Karan and Kabir, which was broadcast on Disney India. The show was a Hindi adaptation of the show Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

Not everybody was pleased with the line-up, saying that these guys don’t look like students at all.
It was obvious for Twitter to point it out.
One user said, “Please correct the title as nepotism of the year 2.”
Another user said, “You Promote Nepotism actually. There are lots of talented actors in Bollywood . Sorry Mr. Johar but your surname doesn’t suit your work.”
Here are some more responses:
LOL! What if I pull the two of you out of the class and make you stand out cos of the unrecoverable damage you are causing to the #IndianFilmIndustry! We deserve better!
