| 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!
