Karan Johar has reportedly tweaked the script of
Tiger Shroff's Student Of The Year 2 to include more fight sequences,
mid-day reports. The popularity of Tiger Shroff as an action hero apparently made Karan Johar and director Punit Malhotra take the decision after
Baaghi 2's success. "Earlier, the story was structured in such a way that dance and romance were the two pivotal elements. But the failure of Tiger Shroff's dance film
Munna Michael (2017), and the subsequent success of
Baaghi 2 proved that the audience loves him in his action avatar. So Karan has asked Punit to incorporate fight sequences in the script, without changing the narrative. The film will now have four major action scenes," source told
mid-day.
Tiger Shroff's
Student Of The Year 2 is a sequel to Karan Johar's 2012 film, which launched Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan in Bollywood. Punit Malhotra takes over stewardship of
Student Of The Year 2 from Karan Johar who directed
Student Of The Year.
The female lead opposite Tiger Shroff hasn't been finalised as of yet. Rumour has it that either
Ananya Panday (Chunky Pandey's daughter) or dancer Tara Sutaria will be a part of the film. "Since the female leads are newbies, it rests on Tiger's shoulders to draw the audience into theatres. So, Karan was clear that the script should play to his strengths," the source told
mid-day.
Meanwhile, Tiger Shroff's
Baaghi 2, also starring Disha Patani, is just a little short of Rs 100 crore at the box office. It will be Tiger Shroff's first film to make the Rs 100 crore debut. Tiger Shroff's
Student Of The Year 2 releases this November.
