It can't be easy to headline the sequel of a film that gave Bollywood three promising stars in Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra. But Tiger Shroff is unperturbed by the comparisons that will be made as he takes the Karan Johar-backed franchise forward with Student Of The Year 2.

If the trailer is any indication, the film - with its generous dose of dance and action - plays to Shroff's strengths. The actor says he has added his own interpretation to the campus drama directed by Punit Malhotra. "There is definitely some flavour of Student Of The Year [2012], but I have added to that by bringing in what people know me for. I have brought in a little 'Tigerism' to my character. The credit for that goes to my director, who gave me the scope to express myself the way I want."
