Bollywood actor Chunky Pandey’s daughter Ananya Pandey is all set to make her Bollywood debut in Karan Johar’s Student of the Year 2, the sequel of his hit 2012 film.
Karan has been apprehensive over who to cast in this film as he was also interested in casting Sridevi’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor or Saif and Amrita Singh’s daughter Sara Ali Khan. However, seems as if the producer has finally decided on Ananya.
“Saif and Amrita’s daughter Sara and Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Janhvi were also considered for Student of the Year. But the idea was dropped. Chunky Pandey’s daughter Ananya has now been chosen,” a source was quoted as saying.
Ananya auditioned before Karan, Tiger Shroff and director Punit Malhotra last week. She was asked to read out Alia Bhatt’s lines from Student Of The Year. Ananya supposedly nailed her audition and Karan immediately decided to cast her.
Student Of The Year 2, which will be directed by Punit Malhotra and produced by Karan, will star Tiger Shroff as the male lead. Earlier this month, Karan unveiled the first poster of the film, featuring Tiger.
