Shanaya Kapoor Recreates Alia Bhatt’s ‘Radha’ Moment Ahead of ‘Student Of The Year: After Dark’ Release

Shanaya Kapoor, known for her roles in recent television serials, recreated Alia Bhatt’s iconic ‘Radha’ moment in a short video posted on her social media accounts. The clip, which mirrors the original scene from the 2014 film ‘Student of the Year’, was shared just days before the new film’s release. The original ‘Radha’ sequence, featuring Bhatt in a traditional saree, became a viral sensation and is considered a defining moment of her early career. Kapoor’s recreation was met with positive responses from fans, who praised her effort to pay homage to the original performance.

The new film, titled ‘Student Of The Year: After Dark’, is a sequel to the 2012 hit and is set to hit theaters in November. The promotional team has been leveraging nostalgic references to the first installment to generate buzz. By echoing the ‘Radha’ moment, Kapoor helped bridge the gap between the original audience and the new film’s target demographic.

Industry insiders say that such nostalgic nods are a common strategy in Bollywood marketing, especially when a franchise seeks to capitalize on the legacy of its predecessor. The move also underscores the growing trend of actors engaging directly with audiences through social media to boost film visibility.
