I am excited to work with Parineeti Chopra again: Siddharth Malhotra on his reunion

Already Parineeti Chopra has acquired the reputation of being ultra-selective, having turned down plum roles opposite the likes of Akshay Kumar in the remake of the Tamil hit <em>Thuppakki</em>. Murugadoss was very keen to cast her opposite Akshay Kumar. But picky Parineeti was not too kicked by the prospect of doing the role. Now one hears choreographer-director Remo D’Souza was very keen to cast Parineeti opposite Siddharth Malhotra in his next directorial venture to go on the floors in July-August.

Hot hunk Siddharth Malhotra has gained rave reviews for his superb performance in Karan Johar’s just released movie, Student Of The Year (SOTY). And in a candid chat with MovieChakkar this young lad said that he is hopeful that his film might revolutionize the school sporting scene in India. In SOTY, he is playing a sport guy (state level athlete) Abhi who comes to this school where the film is set and wants to win the student of the year competition as he needs the scholarship to further his education.

Starring: <strong>Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Rishi Kapoor, Ronit Roy</strong> Directed by <strong>Karan Johar</strong> Rating: <strong>****</strong> It takes guts to make such a spectacular-looking film with three newcomers. When you add glamour to guts, what you get is a sumptuous eye-candy feast that provides a fulsome vicarious designer-thrill without losing hold of the plot’s emotional core.

Even before their film releases, The Student Of The Year trio has moved on to their next projects. It is reliably learnt that producer Karan Johar has offered all three of his protégées further Dharma films regardless of the outcome of their debut film. However Varun Dhawan would have to take a rain-check on that second film for Dharma. He is now committed to do a film with his father David Dhawan next. It is reliably learnt that David would now whisk away his younger-born for a home-production that his elder son Rohit (of <em>Desi Boyz</em>) would direct.
