Filmmaker Karan Johar announced that the upcoming ‘Student of the Year 3’ will debut as a web series, with actress Shanaya Kapoor slated to appear in a double role.
Karan Johar, the creator of the popular ‘Student of the Year’ franchise, revealed that the third installment will not release as a theatrical film but will be produced as a digital series. The decision aligns with the growing trend of Indian studios shifting high‑budget projects to streaming platforms to reach a wider, younger audience.
Shanaya Kapoor, who made her debut in the previous installment, has been confirmed to return, this time portraying two distinct characters. The dual role is expected to showcase her range and add a fresh narrative twist to the series.
Industry insiders suggest that the series will retain the franchise’s signature mix of romance, music, and youthful competition, while exploring more serialized storytelling. Production is slated to begin later this year, with a release anticipated on a major OTT platform.
