Karan Johar is back with SOTY, with a different star-cast

Although Karan made a grand announcement on Twitter about the film, he will not be directing it this time.

The film would be directed by Punit Malhotra, who has earlier directed 'I Hate Luv Storys' and 'Gori Tere Pyaar Mein.'

There were rumors that Sara Ali Khan and Jahnvi Kapoor would star in the film but there has been no confirmation on the same.

The original SOTY was a launch pad for two star kids- Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt and an outsider Sidharth Malhotra.

Although Karan Johar was loathed for his nepotistic activities, one cannot deny the fact that SOTY gave Bollywood three stellar actors, who are now ruling the roost with their unmatchable acting abilities.

Meanwhile, SOTY-2 is likely to release sometime in 2018.
