Karan Johar’s Student of the Year stars Rishi Kapoor as a gay school dean!

Student of The Year


The film Student of the Year has drawn a load of attention on its release, launching three fresh new faces, Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. The film is the director’s fifth directorial venture after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is Khan (2010). For Varun, Siddharth and Alia, Student of the Year is a dream debut indeed and has won the trio lots of acclaim and praises! Besides the fresh trio, this film also includes veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, Bollywood’s very own chocolate boy. 

The actor features as a gay Dean who has a soft corner on the school coach. Dean Yogendra Vasisht is an absolute delight and amusing character to watch and Rishi Kapoor’s excellent performance has been hugely appreciated. The character is believed to change the way gays are being portrayed. Speaking on the same Rishi Kapoor says, "Yes, the role is not a caricature in our film. Film characters depend on directors. In SOTY, it was a personal take by Karan, the director and Rishi, the actor."

According to Rishi Kapoor, it takes courage to suitably fit a gay character in a film. Karan Johar has certainly thought up his characters well. “It’s great victory for Karan, to make a film on this scale with newcomers. In today’s times, no one risks his money and position, especially at the stage where Karan is. It’s great for a man of his stature to spend enormous money on this film. He said his way of making a movie is the same, only the hero has changed. He has the guts, the gall to make a film with his vision, thinking. All the credit for SOTY goes to Karan.

Catch Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and Rishi Kapoor in Karan Johar’s most recent film, Student of the Year!
