Filmmaker Karan Johar had only nice things to say about newcomers Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria, at the trailer launch event of their debut film Student Of The Year 2 in Mumbai on April 12. Speaking of Tara, Karan, who has produced the film under his banner Dharma Productions, said that she is a wonderful singer and is a “gorgeous star” just like her name suggests.

As far as Ananya, daughter of Chunky and Bhavana Panday, is concerned, Karan said that she has always had the desire to work in films.

“Ananya is somebody I have known since she was two-years-old. But that is not the reason why she is in the film. Again, if you believe me that is. She is somebody I’ve literally seen grow up. She has always had this spunky spirit. She always had this desire in her eyes to walk into the limelight, and onto celluloid. She is somebody who got really, passionately excited when she was told that she will be part of this film,” Karan said.
