Besides Siddharth, Varun and Alia, the film also stars veteran actor Rishi Kapoor and television stars Ram Kapoor and Ronit Roy. Known as one of Bollywood’s finest romantic actors of the days gone by, Rishi Kapoor will play a bold and eccentric character in Karan Johar’s next. The actor will don the role of a gay college dean named Yogendra Vasisht. A role unlike any other Rishi Kapoor has played before, his performance in the upcoming film is well anticipated. In Student of the Year, Yogendra Vasisht is projected to have a soft corner for Ronit Roy’s character. "Yes, my character is soft on Ronit in Student of the Year. Why not? I play the dean of the college. And yes, my character is gay. It's one of the most important roles of my career at the moment. This is the time of my career when I get to experiment. I don't want to play the conventional father. Besides, I can't say no to Karan," says Rishi Kapoor. The role was rumored to be initially meant for Karan Johar’s close friend and lucky charm Shah Rukh Khan. The superstar will however make no appearances in the film. On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment has lent a hand in the film’s production along with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
In Student of the Year, Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt will play the roles of Abhimanyu Singh aka Abhi, Rohan Nanda and Shanaya Singhania. After being enrolled at an esteemed school in Dehradun, the three meet, become friends, fall in love and eventually compete with each other to win the prestigious Student of the Year Trophy.
Student of the Year will hit cinema screens on the 19th of October, 2012.
