The quartet are expected to run through the motions of a press event, followed by a mall visit to Ibn Batutta Mall at 8:30 pm and later, at the after party at Vegas Club and Lounge, Excelsior Hotel, Bur Dubai.

“Student of the Year” also stars Sana Saeed, the former child artiste from Johar’s hit film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, where she played Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee’s daughter.
