Reema Maya to direct 'Student of the Year' series
The upcoming web series will be helmed by international filmmaker Reema Maya, who has worked on Counterfeit Kunkoo and Nocturnal Burger.
Earlier, at the Cinevesture International Film Festival (CIFF), Johar confirmed that Student of the Year 3 is in the works.
He said, "Reema will be directing the digital version of SOTY. 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."
