Mumbai: Karan Johar finally takes a break from script-writing to direct 'Student Of The Year' co-produced by Dharma Productions and Red Chillies.
His last directorial, 'My Name Is Khan' was based on a sensitive topic. However, the director decides to slip into his comfort zone with 'Student Of The Year'. The director said that 'Student Of The Year' will be a song and dance film.
The director announces the shoot of the film on a micro-blogging site. He tweets, "I start my shoot for SOTY in 2 weeks...if I am nervous I wonder what the 3 first timers are feeling?? "(sic)
The film is set to star newbies, Varun Dhawan (Son of David Dhawan), Alia Bhatt (daughter of Mahesh Bhatt) and Siddharth Malhotra. While he has never worked with Alia; Varun and Siddharth have been Karan's assistant directors in 'My Name Is Khan'.
The film is set to go on floors by August 16th. And the music will be composed by Vishal and Shekhar.
Besides being a producer, it's not clear if Shah Rukh Khan will be playing any role or doing a special appearance, but Kajol will be making an appearance in the film.
This is ideally Karan Johar's first directorial project without Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. Only time will tell if KJo can recreate the magic he did with 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' in 1998.
