Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan, the leading lads in the upcoming Student of the Year film have been drawing a load of attention recently. Ever since the film was first announced by director Karan Johar, the duo along with co-actor Alia Bhatt has been in the spotlight. These fresh new faces will make their silver screen debut with Student of the Year, and are considered to be some of the most promising debutants in Bollywood. Being young, charming and good-looking, Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan have been able to gather quite a fan-base, mostly made up of starry-eyed teenage girls. There have also been rumors and chitchat linking up Siddharth Malhotra and at times Varun Dhawan to Alia Bhatt.

The youngsters however are both reported to be in steady ongoing relationships. Siddharth Malhotra has been known to be dating Natalie, a Costa Rican model. He met her on a trip to the United States while working as an assistant director to Karan Johar for the 2010 film “My Name Is Khan”. Varun Dhawan also assisted Karan with the direction of this movie. As for Varun, the actor is currently in a “committed relationship” with a Mumbai-based girl named Sara. Now living in the United States, Sara first met Varun while in Mumbai. Also, skeptics believe the actors to have troubles with their long-distance relationships with their new-found stardom taking the top of their priority lists.

For the dashing and absolutely gorgeous Siddharth Malhotra, the film is a dream debut. This model-turned-actor comes from no filmy background and found big-screen acting a little more difficult than his co-actors, both of who come from film-backgrounds. Quoting Siddharth, "Sometimes, I'm a bit nervous. But at most times, I'm confident. I have landed a dream debut. Karan, according to me, has the safest pair of hands in the film business.” Karan Johar sniffed out Siddharth and Varun’s knack for the silver-screen while working with them for My Name Is Khan. "One day, I was assisting Karan on My Name is Khan, and now I'm the leading man of Student of the Year. I have to pinch myself to believe this is for real,” says Siddharth.

Student of the Year will release on the 19th of October, 2012, and will be produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment.
