Ever since Karan Johar expressed his desire to take the Student Of The Year franchise forward, B-Town was abuzz with speculations about the film’s star cast. Several rumours suggested that Shahid Kapoor’s stepbrother Ishaan Khattar and Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara Ali Khan would make their Bollywood debut with the film.
