Aditya Seal: I believe Karan Johar just promotes talent

Karan Johar’s production venture Student Of The year 2 has hit the screens today and has received mixed reviews. The movie stars Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria in the lead roles and Aditya Seal plays the bad boy in the film. We recently met Aditya and spoke to him about his experience of working in the film.

When asked if he ever thought that star kids in the movie were given more importance than him during the shoot, he said, “Not at all, everybody was treated equally including me. The same treatment, same cars, the same place to stay and the same hotels, and I don’t know this nepotism and all of that. I believe Karan (Johar) just promotes talent. Not one person he has given a chance has let him down, be it Varun and Alia who have the filmy background or be it Sid (Malhotra) who doesn’t have it. Tara (Sutaria) is going to prove to everybody that she is been given a chance because she deserves it. I got a chance I don’t have a filmy background. Janhvi and Ishaan are the industry kids, but they have proved themselves.”


Directed by Punit Malhotra, Student Of The Year 2 is a sequel to 2012 release Student Of The Year which starred Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra in the lead roles. The film was a hit at the box office.
