The third installment in the Student of the Year franchise is currently in the planning stages. While it was recently revealed that Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, has been cast as the female lead, News18 Showsha has obtained exclusive information regarding Karan Johar’s upcoming film.

According to an insider, actor Tusharr Khanna has auditioned for the male lead and is reportedly being considered by the makers. If selected, he will star opposite Shanaya Kapoor along with another male actor, whose casting has not yet been finalized.

The source revealed that auditions for the male lead have been ongoing for a considerable time. Tusharr Khanna’s audition reportedly went well, and the casting team was impressed by his performance. As a result, he is being considered for one of the male lead roles, although no final decision has been made yet. When approached for a comment, Tusharr Khanna declined to respond.

Tusharr Khanna is recognized for his work in television shows such as Naagin and Piya Albela. He made his Bollywood debut last year with Starfish, but the film did not perform well at the box office.

The Student of the Year franchise began in 2012 with the first film, which introduced Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, and Sidharth Malhotra to Bollywood. The sequel was released in 2019, featuring Tiger Shroff alongside Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria, with Aditya Seal in a supporting role.
