Student of the Year 3 Reportedly Takes Darker, Edgier Direction with Shanaya Kapoor
The third installment of Karan Johar's Student of the Year franchise is reportedly taking a darker, more intense direction compared to its predecessors. Unlike the light-hearted college romance and rivalry themes of the first two films, Student of the Year 3 is envisioned as a youth-driven, edgy series blending elements from Netflix's Class and the emotionally charged style of Euphoria. Shanaya Kapoor is expected to play a double role, with filmmaker Reema Maya directing, though no official confirmation has been made.
