Guess which actress will play the lead for Karan Johar's Student of the Year 2?

Monday, 15 May 2017 07:00

After much speculation, it looks like Karan Johar has finally zeroed in on the actress for his sequel, Student of the year 2.

When news of the film first broke out, rumours were rife that Sara Ali Khan (Saif Ali Khan’s daughter) was going to be launched by the ace filmmaker. However, recent reports suggest otherwise!

Tiger Shroff has already been confirmed as the male lead while the hunt for the leading lady seems like it has been going on forever. Even Disha Patani made it to the list where there were rumours of her being signed on for the film that is to be directed by Punit Malhotra.

Recent reports suggest that Pooja Hegde has just given a screen test for the film, and might actually be selected. The actress didn’t make it off to a great start with Mohenjo Daro, but if she actually ends up being signed on by Johar, we can be rest assured she’ll have a good second chance of making a great impression! A source from Dharma Productions has already confirmed that Pooja took the screen test and was pretty impressive.

Do you think Pooja and Tiger will make a good on-screen pair?
