Karan Johar gives an update on Student of the Year 3

At the Cinevesture International Film Festival in Chandigarh, KJo spilled details about Student of the Year 3. 

He said, “Reema Maya will be directing the digital version of Student of the Year. But it will be her way and definitely not mine because if I’ll enter Reema Maya’s world, then I will make it more of an illusion, which is what her name means. I just wanted it to be her voice. She made it her own series.”

Meanwhile, the filmmakers are yet to make an official announcement about the web series, and reveal rest of the cast and crew. Student of the Year was released in 2012 while the second instalment was released in 2019.
