MUMBAI: Almost a year after the release of My Name Is Khan, Karan Johar is set to direct a young tale titled Student of The Year.

Though the movie will not feature Shah Rukh Khan, it will be a joint venture between Khan and Johar.

Talking about the film, Johar says, "Student of the Year will have everything that I love about movies. It will have songs, dances, happiness, fun and frolic all around."

The film will bring to the fore the era of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, albeit in the 21st century avatar. The film talks about adult relationships despite having songs and dances.

Avers Johar, "It‘s a happy song and dance film with the tone and syntax being that of a holiday outing. Still from the emotional energy perspective, the entire team will go all out to make it one super cool young flick."

The film would serve as the launch pad of three newcomers including Varun Dhawan (son of David Dhawan), Alia Bhatt (Daughter of Mahesh Bhatt) and Siddharth Malhotra.
