5 Key Updates About Student Of The Year 3 Which Will Leave All Excited For Karan Johar’s Show
The Student Of The Year franchise has always been a launchpad for fresh faces and flashy campus drama, and it looks like the third installment is ready to shake things up even more. From glitzy fashion moments to love triangles set against the backdrop of elite college corridors, the franchise has never been short on entertainment, and SOTY 3 promises to take things to a whole new level. This time around, the buzz is louder, the stakes are higher, and the surprises are already rolling in. With a brand-new format, new-gen stars, and plot twists that are bound to keep fans hooked, here’s everything we already know about the much-anticipated Student Of The Year 3.

1. Shanaya Kapoor Is Taking the Lead
After much buzz and speculation, it’s official — Shanaya Kapoor is stepping into the spotlight as the female lead of SOTY 3. With all eyes on her big acting debut, expectations are sky-high, especially with the legacy of Alia Bhatt and Tara Sutaria behind her.
2. Shanaya Playing a Dual Role
Yes, you read that right. Shanaya isn’t just leading the series — she’s doing double duty. Reportedly, she’ll be playing two characters in the movie.
3. Meet the (Likely) Male Lead: Tusharr Khanna
While the official announcement is still under wraps, Tusharr Khanna is reportedly the top contender for the male lead. The actor made his Bollywood debut in 2024 with the T-Series movie Starfish. New face, new drama, and possibly a new heartthrob in the making? We’ll have to wait and see.
4. It’s Not a Movie — It’s a Web Series
Here’s the biggest plot twist: SOTY 3 isn’t coming to the big screen. Instead, it’s being made as a web series, which means more episodes, more drama, and more time to soak in those elite campus vibes.
5. Cameras Roll Later This Year
While pre-production is already in motion, shooting is expected to begin later this year. So, it looks like 2025 might be the year we officially enroll at St. Teresa’s again — but this time, via binge-watch.
