Kayoze started off as an assistant director for the recently released Kareena Kapoor-Imran Khan starrer 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu'. Now, the budding director has been signed for Johar's film but his role has not been disclosed yet.
"Ok...thats Kayoze Irani!!! @kayoze..boman irani's super talented son who we are introducing in SOTY," filmmaker Karan Johar wrote on Twitter and posted a picture of the newbie on the micro blogging site. The film also marks the debuts of Alia Bhatt, daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, son of director David Dhawan and newcomer Siddharth Malhotra.
Both Siddharth and Varun had previously worked as assistant directors under Johar during the making of his 2010 film, 'My Name is Khan'. As the shooting for the film is underway Johar is all looking forward to a song choreographed by Farah Khan.
"Am off for another outdoor of SOTY....am filming my favourite song in the album with Farah!!! On flight with the newbies..will connect soon!," he said. There is a buzz that the song with the three debutants Varun, Alia and Siddharth would be a high school party gig, ala Shahrukh, Kajol and Rani's 'Koi Mil Gaya Mera Dil Gaya' from Johar's directorial debut movie, 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'.
'Student of the Year' is said to be a romantic comedy entertainer and is being produced by Shahrukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment and Johar's Dharma Productions.
