Trying something else with 'Student of the Year 2': Tiger
In his next "Baaghi 2", Tiger will yet again be seen doing power-packed stunts.
However, in "SOTY 2", Tiger will move away from his macho image and transform into a naive student. "I am trying something else with 'Student of the Year 2'. That's a complete contrast from 'Baaghi 2'. I am getting bullied and beaten up. Here, it is the opposite," Tiger said.
The film
The sequel film will be directed by Punit Malhotra
SOTY 2 is the sequel to the hit 2012 Karan Johar directorial, will be helmed by Punit Malhotra.
"I don't have much action in the film. I didn't choose it to break the stereotype. It was an honor to work with Dharma Productions," he said about his decision to do the film.

Exploring
"It's great as an actor to explore different facets"
"It is Karan Johar's baby franchise, his prized possession and he is passing it on to me, so there's an expectation. I take huge pride in taking the legacy forward of 'Student of the Year'," Tiger said.
"For me, it's great as an actor to explore different facets. I've never played a regular, normal lover boy. It's like a musical," the actor added.
