‘Student of the Year’ is not only considered as Alia Bhatt’s debut film. Released in 2012, the film broke many success records and marked a new career path for Alia as well as Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. Karan Johar showed a college romance as well as a love triangle in this film, which was loved by the fans. But did you know that Siddharth Malhotra was not Karan Johar’s first choice for this film.
Let us tell you that through this film, Karan Johar wanted to launch the son of the best Velan in Bollywood but after his refusal, he gambled on Siddharth Malhotra and the result of the film is known to all.

Before Sid, the actor’s son was getting this film
In fact, when Karan Johar thought of the story of the film, he was thinking of launching a new star. He wanted to launch a new hero and a new heroine through this film. For this he approached Sanjay Grover, son of Gulshan Grover, who is known as a Bollywood superstar. He spoke to Gulshan Grover and Sanjay Grover. Gulshan agreed but Sanjay Grover did not accept the offer at that time saying that he was not yet ready for films. This film launched Siddharth Malhotra after Sanjay Grover’s Na. Sanjay Grover is currently making his mark not in Bollywood but in Hollywood. He works as a producer in a Hollywood studio.
If I had said yes, she would have been an actress, not Alia.
It’s not just about the hero. Karan Johar decided to launch someone else before Alia for the heroine of the film. This girl is Jackie Shroff’s daughter Krishna Shroff. But coincidentally, Krishna also turned down the film as she did not want to debut in Bollywood. Alia Bhatt was then launched through this film and Alia looked very impressive in this film.
