Dharma Productions is flipping the script on its iconic youth-centric saga with a bold digital reinvention. The upcoming web series inspired by the ‘Student of The Year’ universe promises a sleek, contemporary take on ambition, rivalry and romance – this time tailored for streaming audiences. At the heart of this reboot is Shanaya Kapoor and Alaya F, the former, stepping into the spotlight with a dual-character performance that’s set to challenge conventions and showcase her versatility. Interestingly, this series marks a full-circle moment for Shanaya, whose Bollywood debut was once tied to the franchise before plans shifted. Now, she returns not as a newcomer, but as a rising star ready to redefine her narrative.
The original 2012 film was more than just a glossy campus flick – it was a launchpad for future A-listers like Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra. Its sequel in 2019 kept the momentum going, introducing Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria to the big screen. With the new OTT series, the franchise isn’t just revisiting familiar themes – it’s evolving, embracing fresh faces and digital storytelling to connect with a new generation of viewers.
