Student of the Year 2 was announced in October 2017. Initially, Malhotra and Shroff were to collaborate for a different film; when they found the final script unsatisfactory, they tweaked it and planned to make it a sequel. It marks the debuts of both Sutaria and Panday and pursues a plot that is unrelated to its predecessor (though Manjot Singh and Sahil Anand reprised their roles as Dimpy and Jeet Khurana respectively). Principal photography for the film began in April 2018 at Dehradun, and ended in September 2018. The film’s soundtrack was composed by Vishal-Shekhar, with lyrics written by Anvita Dutt Guptan, Kumaar and Vayu, and released under the banner Zee Music Company.
Student of the Year 2 was theatrically released in India on 10 May 2019. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, with the script, unreal situation and unrealistic depiction of Indian schools and colleges thus receiving criticism; However, Shroff’s action sequences were praised. As of 7 June 2019, it has earned ₹981.6 million worldwide, against a budget of ₹850 million, including promotion and advertising costs. The film did decent business at the box office.
