Karan also shared an Instagram post to celebrate the nine-year anniversary of Student of the Year. “October is just filled with gifts that keep giving - and #SOTY is one such! Not only does it continue to give everyone many tunes to break out in a dance or hum along, style that is timeless and for me, many many memories! But the ultimate gifts have been these three students, now superstars who keep on giving their absolute best to the field of cinema! Couldn’t be prouder and here’s to the film that started it all! #9YearsOfSOTY,” he wrote.

Student of the Year featured Alia, Varun and Sidharth as students of the fictitious St Teresa’s High School. Their friendships are tested as they battle it out in an intense competition to win the ‘Student of the Year’ trophy. The film was a box office success.

A standalone sequel, Student of the Year 2, released in 2019. The film starred Tiger Shroff and launched debutantes Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria. Alia made a special appearance in a song.
