As per the report, a source close to the actor told News 18, "Yes, Ankita was approached for Student Of The Year 3. I am not sure about the role she was offered but she was definitely asked if she could be a part of the SOTY franchise. However, she has rejected the offer and nobody knows the reason behind her decision." FYI, Student Of The Year 3 will be made into a web series. The first two installments of the franchise Student Of The Year And Student Of The Year 2 were films.

In April, Karan Johar mentioned that the upcoming web series would be directed by Reema Maya at the Cinevesture International Film Festival (CIFF) in Chandigarh, stated News 18. "Reema Maya will be directing the digital version of Student of the Year. But it will be her way and definitely not mine because if I'll enter Reema Maya's world, then I will make it more of an illusion, which is what her name means. I just wanted it to be her voice. She made it her own series," Karan was quoted by News 18.
