After finalizing Tiger Shroff and Tum Bin 2 actor Aditya Seal, the makers of the upcoming Hindi film Student Of The Year 2 have now roped in former beauty queen and actress Gul Panag to play an important role.

As the name suggests itself, Student Of The Year 2 is a sequel to Karan Johar's blockbuster film Student Of The Year, which launched the careers of Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra in Bollywood.

According to a source, Panag will play a pivotal role in the narrative. “In most probability, she will be seen as a professor, similar to what Ronit Roy essayed in the first part,” a well-placed source reveals.

Produced by Dharma Productions, Student Of The Year 2 will be helmed by Puneet Malhotra. The makers are currently busy finalizing the female lead for the flick. Some reports suggest that SOTY 2 is a two-heroine project and the makers have locked actor Chunky Panday's daughter Ananya Panday to play one of the leads.

Eurovision in turmoil as Spain Ireland and Netherlands threaten withdrawal over Gaza conflict

Highlights:

  • Spain leads a growing boycott movement, with Ireland, the Netherlands and Slovenia also refusing to participate if Israel competes.
  • The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is in crisis talks, extending its decision deadline to December 2025.
  • The situation draws direct comparisons to Russia’s exclusion in 2022, creating a precedent the EBU must now navigate.
  • The core dilemma pits Eurovision’s non-political ideals against the stark reality of a humanitarian crisis.

The Eurovision Song Contest, that glitter-drenched annual spectacle of pop and unity, is staring into the abyss. The escalating call for a Eurovision boycott over Israel's participation, against the backdrop of the ongoing Gaza conflict, has put the organisers into their most severe political crisis yet. This isn't just about another song entry but a fundamental clash between the contest's cherished apolitical fantasy and the inescapable geopolitics of the real world, threatening to tear the competition apart from within.
