Karan Johar has been grabbing news headlines and a chunk of the spotlight recently with his fifth directorial venture titled Student of the Year just around the corner. This will be his first movie without Bollywood bigwig Shah Rukh Khan. All of Karan Johar's previous films including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is Khan (2010) have had the superstar. Instead, Student of the Year will star three newcomers in the lead including Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. Most movie buffs might've sniffed out the Student of the Year plot by now.

The trio of fresh faces will play the roles of three students in a high-profile school in Dehradun and will be seen facing the highs and lows of teenage life. Here's what you probably didn't know about the upcoming film and its stars however.

I have to work harder and be more attentive because I don't have an option. So it does make it tougher." The actor started his career as a model at the early age of 16 and has won several titles including the Gladrags Face of the Year 2009 award and the NDTV Model of the Year 2010. He has also walked the runway for Indian and international designers including Manish Arora, Manish Malhotra and Rohit Bal. Before Student of the Year, Siddharth auditioned for a film that failed to take off.

Karan Johar's Student of the Year is the director's fifth, and given the fact that most of his previous movies have given the Box Office a hay day, the upcoming Student of the Year is being considered as one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Also, this will be Karan Johar's first film working with three complete newcomers in the lead. The film stars Siddharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan in the lead. The trio will make their first big-screen appearances with Student of the Year. Karan Johar's Dharma Productions will produce this upcoming movie along with Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment.

The daughter of director Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan, Alia Bhatt fainted on the sets of the upcoming Karan Johar film 14 times, unable to cope with the cold and fatigue. However, none of this deterred the actor from unleashing an exceptional performance for the film. Karan Johar has been stated to have auditioned nearly 400 hopefuls before signing Alia for the film.
