One of the most popular youth films, Student of the Year was a rage when it came out in 2012. The film marked the debut of Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. The plot of the movie revolved around a two friend, Abhimanyu and Rohan who are not only poles apart in their personality but also in their financial status. However, their friendship gets tested as they compete to win the coveted ‘Student of the Year’ trophy and Abhimanyu falls in love with Rohan’s girlfriend, Shanaya. If this movie was to remade in South India, here’s a list of the cast that seems to be perfect for the roles.
