Director Reema Maya is shaking up the Student of the Year franchise with a fresh, darker spin.
Premiering November 13 on JioHotstar, this series takes campus rivalry and turns it into a murder mystery, all while keeping Maya's signature storytelling style.
She shared that this project let her dive into commercial entertainment without losing her unique voice.

The cast, led by Shanaya Kapoor, was chosen for their authenticity and energy.
