Karan Johar's Student of the Year and its sequel still hold a fresh appeal even after their release. Karan introduced new talents and captivating storylines, making a mark on the screen. With ongoing rumors about Student of the Year 3, fans eagerly awaited news, and now Karan has finally confirmed the same, revealing details about the upcoming installment.

Reema Maya to direct the digital version of Student of the Year

According to Times of India, Karan Johar shared details about Student of the Year 3 at the Cinevesture International Film Festival (CIFF) in Chandigarh. While talking about his upcoming projects, he discussed the web series, revealing that Reema Maya from Nocturnal Burger will be directing it. Karan emphasized collaboration with new talents, highlighting Reema as an example. 

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 will 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.”
