NEW DELHI: Actress Disha Patani has once again lost out on a role opposite rumoured beau Tiger Shroff in Karan Johar's Student of The Year 2 (SOTY 2). And guess who has bagged the role? It's another star kid, Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's daughter - Sara Ali Khan.

So, it is now confirmed that Sara is all set to make her Bollywood debut through Dharma Productions and will be playing the role of Tiger Shroff's love interest.

"I think she is going to debut with Karan. I am very happy she is working with Karan Johar because I think he is brilliant with newcomers and he will launch her correctly. He is a very intelligent and a passionate filmmaker and he understands films. I am very pleased that she is with him," said Saif to Pinkvilla on daughter's debut.

A source told DNA, “Disha was finalised as Tiger was keen to have her in the film. It would mean that this off-screeen pair would finally woo each other on-screen and that’s also interesting for the audience. Producer Karan Johar and director Punit agreed to Disha, as she has a pleasing personality and is confident on screen, as seen in her last release MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and Kung Fu Yoga with Jackie Chan. But for reasons best known to the makers, Disha has made way for Sara."

 Before this, Disha was ousted from 'Baaghi' and Shraddha Kapoor was roped in opposite Tiger Shroff. (PC-Instagram/ Disha Patani)

This is not the first time that MS Dhoni: The Untold Story actress lost the opportunity to romance her 'lover' on-screen. Even before this, Disha was ousted from 'Baaghi' and Shraddha Kapoor was roped in.

It is interesting to note that Sara's mother Amrita Singh and Tiger's father Jackie Shroff have worked together in four films and now their kids will be seen opposite each other. First instalment of 'Student of The Year' released in 2012 had Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan.
