New Delhi: Producer Karan Johar confirmed that ‘Student of the Year’ will be adapted into a TV series, and ‘Nocturnal Burger’ director Reema Maya will helm the project. On Sunday, the last day of the Cinevesture International Film Festival (CIFF) in Chandigarh, the director announced this news.
Karan said, "Reema Maya will be directing the digital version of 'Student of the Year'. But it will be her way and definitely not mine," as quoted by PTI.
The director added, “If I'll enter Reema Maya's world then I will make it more of an illusion... I just wanted it to be her voice. She made it her own series.”
Sanjay Kapoor's daughter Shanaya Kapoor was reportedly going to be cast as a student in 'Student of the Year 3'.
