Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan, the leading lads in the upcoming Student of the Year film have been drawing a load of attention recently. Ever since the film was first announced by director Karan Johar, the duo along with co-actor Alia Bhatt has been in the spotlight.

The video kicks off with the school's Dean Yoginder Vasisht (Rishi Kapoor) announcing the Student of the Year tournament. The song features the film's protagonists, Abhimanyu Singh (Siddharth Malhotra), Rohan Nanda (Varun Dhawan) and Shanaya Singhania (Alia Bhatt) preparing for their examinations. Complete with Rohan strumming the guitar and clippings of Abhimanyu in the gym, this song is expected to walk into the limelight with its pleasant tune.

"Ratta Maar" has Vishal Dadlani and Shefali Alvares on vocals and was composed by music-director duo Vishal Shekhar, who has also composed the rest of the album. The song is cheerful and youthful and will have youngsters hooked. As for the soundtrack's lyrics, these were penned by dialogue writer, screenplay writer, story writer and lyricist Anvita Dutt Guptan.

For the dashing and absolutely gorgeous Siddharth Malhotra, the film is a dream debut. This model-turned-actor comes from no filmy background and found big-screen acting a little more difficult than his co-actors, both of who come from film-backgrounds. Quoting Siddharth, "Sometimes, I'm a bit nervous. But at most times, I'm confident. I have landed a dream debut. Karan, according to me, has the safest pair of hands in the film business." Karan Johar sniffed out Siddharth and Varun's knack for the silver-screen while working with them for My Name Is Khan. "One day, I was assisting Karan on My Name is Khan, and now I'm the leading man of Student of the Year. I have to pinch myself to believe this is for real," says Siddharth.

Student of the Year release on the 19th of October 2012, and is produced by Dharma Productions and Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. The film will be Karan Johar's first project with newcomers and is expected to take the box office by storm. A fresh and youthful film in essence, Student of the Year is crafted to appeal to the younger masses as well as the older generations.
