Go to form<doc-sep>Student Of The Year 2 will introduce two new faces to Bollywood — Tara Sutaria, a former employee of Disney India, and Ananya Panday, the daughter of actor Chunkey Panday. When Karan Johar announced the casting of Student of the Year 2, the Dharma chief faced a lot of flak, with people also criticising him of nepotism. A year later, many Dharma loyalists appreciated the trailer, with most of them warmly welcoming the debutantes. Directed by Punit Malhotra, the film marks the debut of actors Tara Sutaria and Ananya Panday to the industry. Ever since the trailer release, the film has been a talking point of major social media discussions, particularly for introducing two new faces to Hindi cinema. Hence, ahead of its theatrical release, here are brief profiles of both Tara and Ananya. Tara Sutaria Though Student of the Year 2 marks her debut on the silver screen, 23-year old Tara was exposed to the world of arts at an early age. She began her association with Disney India as a video jockey, further continuing with them for two successful sitcoms — The Suite Life of Karan and Kabir and Oye Jassie. Tara started learning Western classical music at the age of five and has been performing on stage for the past 15 years, having recorded music in India and abroad for films and plays. Her original work, 'Slippin' Through My Fingers', is part of the Ashwin Gidwani Production of Bharat Dhabholkar's Blame It On Yashraj. While talking to Firstpost about her debut, Tara attributed her confidence to the early exposure of theater and arts. She said, “I am lucky that I have been raised in the arts and have been performing all my life, but this is a completely different world for me. Dharma (Productions) launch is quite magical." In the same interview, she revealed that she was signed by Disney to play Jasmine in its upcoming live action remake of Aladdin. But it did not work out eventually. However, her opportunity to share the screen space with Will Smith (who plays Genie in Aladdin) did work out later when he did a special appearance in one of the songs of Student Of The Year 2. Ahead of her debut, Tara has already completed her second film, Marjaavaan, opposite Sidharth Malhotra. Tara’s third film, opposite Suniel Shetty’s son Ahan, which is a remake of Telugu film RX100, will go on floors in June. Ananya Panday Ananya was an Assistant Director on Rahul Dholakia's 2016 crime drama Raees, that had Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. Casting directors Anmol Ahuja and Abhishek Banerjee (Casting Bay) spotted her there and decided to audition her for Student Of The Year 2. However, when Ananya was announced as part of the cast last year, she received brickbats, thanks to Karan Johar's reputation as "the flag-bearer of nepotism". A few months ago, 20-year old Ananya made her first appearance at the Bollywood talk show Koffee with Karan season 6, along with Tara and their Student Of The Year 2 co-star Tiger Shroff. While talking about her upcoming debut, daughter of senior actor Chunky Pandey made a bold statement, claiming she did not deserve to be on the show. “I feel there are a lot of people out there who are very talented and hardworking and I feel that I have tried my best. I have auditioned and I am also going to be super hard working. This has been my dream also, I have to be fair to myself. Since I was young this is all I wanted to do all my life and I am so grateful that I actually got the chance to do it,” said Ananya, in an interview to Firstpost. While talking about her father, Ananya said, "Even though there is pressure on me, I feel proud. I don’t want to take away anything from my father by having any negative attachments to his name. He has worked so hard to gain respect in the industry. I hope I can make it bigger and better for him." While her debut film is yet to release, Ananya had already bagged a role in Pati Patni Aur Woh (alongside Kartik Aryan and Bhumi Pednekar). A modern-day rendition of Sanjeev Kumar's 1978 iconic comedy, the film is slated to release on 10 January, 2020. Student of the Year 2 is slated to release this Friday on 10 May.<doc-sep>Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria debut in Student Of The Year 2. Highlights Ananya says the she was cast in Pati Patni Aur Woh remake after an ad Tara will also star opposite Ahan Shetty in RX 100 remake Sara Ali Khan has also signed Simmba before the release of Kedarnath Whether it is Sara Ali Khan, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Panday - all these young debutantes signed their second film even before their first big Bollywood film hit the big screen. They find it more than exciting but an expert believes that the demand for diverse content and popularity on social media makes these newcomers stars even before the release of their films. Last year, Sara made her Bollywood debut with Kedarnath. And soon after that the commercial potboiler Simmba released. Ananya and Tara, who are being launched with Student Of The Year 2, have already signed for Pati Patni Aur Woh remake and Marjaavaan respectively. On the opportunities coming her way, Ananya, daughter of actor Chunky Panday, said: "I think this is a very exciting time to be here. I think for my casting of Pati Patni Aur Woh the makers saw my ad film which I did for a brand and they decided to cast me in the film. I am thankful for the chance and I have a lot more work to do in cinema." According to trade analyst Atul Mohan, the rise in demand of different content and stories is opening up the space for new talent, and producers are taking calculated risk by signing them. "If we look at all the three youngsters, they are already popular among millennials on social media even before their film release. When a production house signs a talent, the audience can see who is launching them. If Karan Johar is launching a talent, he must have seen some amount of potential in them." "Youngsters these days, thanks to social media, are building their fan following even before their films hit the big screen. So there is a desire that the audience have to watch them in the cinema," Atul Mohan said. He said that gone were the days when earnings of an actor's debut film became the deciding factor. "It is the talent really. If the audience loved you on-screen and the film did average business, even then a newcomer can bag a good film. Perhaps reviews from audience and critics matters," said Atul Mohan. Tara, who has been associated with showbiz for a while, feels she is lucky to have more films on her lap even before her maiden movie released. "I have just finished shooting for Marjaavaan and I will start working on RX 100 remake, which is Ahan Shetty's debut. It rarely happens to any newcomer that she gets a chance to work in three films in a year. My second film got over even before the release of my debut," she said. "When I gave an audition for Student Of The Year 2, I did not even think that I will get another film offer so soon. So for me, it is surreal." Tara is expecting "honest" reviews over "just good words." "For me, it is better to know where I am falling short as an actor. Let the criticism come and I hope to take them in the best way possible," she said. Constructive criticism, Atul Mohan said, always helps new talent. "When you are an established star, the review does not matter, but box office numbers do. Salman Khan is an example of that. For years, Salman's fans have gone to the theatre to watch his style and no matter what critics say, his films do good business," he said.<doc-sep>The debutant's style is more of a boho chic look that is easy on the eyes. Many of the outfits are what every girl needs to have in her wardrobe this summer. Student of the Year 2 is releasing today and we can't help but reminiscence over the first film which broke the box office. The second edition features Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria in the leading roles and we can't help but gawk over all the amazing outfits, fashion and style the film has to offer. Tara Sutaria is not even one film old yet but she has already made her mark by becoming quite the fashion inspiration for the younger generation. Since the film is releasing today, here's a rundown of Tara's promotional wardrobe which oozes comfort and fashion. She looks summer ready in this brightly coloured denim jacket and skirt combo that she paired with a black crop top. The heels gave her outfit a cool mix between athleisure and chic fashion. Co-ord outfits seem to be a favourite of the acress' and we love the colour combination of this outfit just as much as Sutaria. The olive green shirt and a white skirt, are some more casual wardrobe staples we all need in our closets. We are loving Sutaria's take on street style. Chunky sneakers, polka dotted shorts and a colourful top, makes for the perfect summer outfit. Not a huge fan of ethnic outfits, Tara looked radiant in this pink sharara set and still managed to ace the look. Most of her outfits we easy breezy and perfect for the summer. Light shades, easy to wear outfits are also what has got her almost 1 million followers on Instagram. Tara's style diary is impressive and we are in love with this white knot dress and absolutely loved the combination of sunshine yellow heels with this dress. Nothing spells summer like short skirts. Though there were a number of colours - yellow, black white and pink, it all seemed to go together well for the overall look. Colour blocking is a trend Tara follows religiously. We are loving how she styled these purple heels with her green and white co-ord outfit. An athleisure trend that seems like it is going to stick on for a while, is white sneakers, since it goes with just about any colour and coutfit, as proven by the debutant. The ugly sneakers also seem to be a favourite of the actress who sports them at almost every occasion. One combination that is evergreen is the denim jeans and white tee combo. Sutaria switched it up by opting for an off-shoulder crop top for a chic look. We love that she styled it with gingham stilettos and statement earrings.

Back in 2012, Student of the Year introduced three newbies in Bollywood-- Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra. This year in 2019, the franchise takes a step forward with Student of the Year 2 and brings in two more debutantes-- Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria. The two lead actresses realise that they are stepping into a space of opportunity where they will be compared with the former star-cast, particularly Alia. "Alia Bhatt is my idol." "I fell in love with Alia the first time I saw her in Student of the Year," exclaimed Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria as they went on to talk about their debut and taking forward the Student of the Year franchise. While Ananya is a star-kid and is well recognised as Chunky Pandey's daughter, Tara Sutaria is a well-known face of Disney India. She has worked as a child artist in Big Bada Boom and went on to work in the sitcoms The Suite Life of Karan & Kabir and Oye Jassie on the same channel. "Yes, there are a lot of expectations because they have achieved so much in their lives, but there is no pressure as our director and producer Kran Johar gave us space to portray our roles," said Tara. Ananya, on the other hand, says she doesn't want to be perfect from the start and wants to achieve a growing career arch like Alia. "When Alia came in the industry, she was fair, real and she never claimed to be perfect. She has always been herself and the audience has seen her grow. Similarly, I would like the audience to see me grow. I want people to see me getting better with every film," said Ananya. "I wanted to become an actor after I watched Alia in 'SOTY'. I remember watching her and thinking this is what I wanted to in my life," she added. The two also spoke about the fate of Student of the Year 2. While Tara has left it on the audience to decide, Anaya says that the team has made the film with a lot of love and she's hoping to get it back. Directed by Punit Malhotra and produced under the banner Dharma Productions, Student of the Year 2 also features Tiger Shroff and will release tomorrow (April 10). Follow @News18Movies for more
