The big mystery surrounding Tiger Shroff’s leading ladies in Student of the Year 2 is not quite a big secret if you’ve been following the selection process well.

While the movie’s producer Karan Johar has promised to take names for the Punit Malhotra directorial today, we can tell the world that there are two ladies in this movie.

And they are: singer-dancer Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey, daughter of Chunky Pandey.

Says a source in the know, “After Karan finalised Tiger as the male lead in the Student of the Year sequel, it was decided there would be two girls opposite him. Lots of names — including the ones finally locked in — were thrown around by the press. We also heard that Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s daughter Sara Ali Khan were under consideration too. But those were red herrings thrown in to generate curiosity in the casting of the project. But Tara and Ananya were locked in months ago.”
