The 2012 hit, directed by Karan Johar, marked the Bollywood debut of Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra. "Student of the Year 2", directed by Punit Malhotra, features Tiger opposite two newcomers -- Ananya Pandey, daughter of Chunkey Pandey and Tara Sutaria. The film has been produced by Karan through his banner Dharma Productions.

"I don't want to compare (the two films). We have made a different film altogether. There will be flavours of 'Student of the Year'... I have done my best. The sports are different, we are introducing Kabbadi for the first time," Tiger told reporters here at the trailer launch of the film.
