Is Tiger Shroff's role in SOTY 2 a tribute to Shah Rukh Khan?

The identity of the two heroines in Karan Johar-Puneet Malhotra’s Student Of The Year 2 is already in the public domain. But, we are still clueless about who is playing what. Here is some inside dope.

According to a source in the know, the film is structured very closely on Karan’s directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The source says, “It is the same situation with Tiger playing the cool dude collegian with two girls running after him.”

Apparently, while model-singer Tara Sutaria will play the campus hottie, a la Rani Mukerji, Ananya Pandey will be Tiger’s pretty, wholesome, devoted girlfriend, just like Kajol in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

So, is Student Of The Year 2 an official remake of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai?

“No, just that the three main characters in Student Of The Year 2 are a homage to Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Kajol in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” says the source in the know.
