It's been nine years since Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra's debut film Student Of The Year released in cinemas. And guess how the stars celebrated the ninth anniversary of their film, which was directed by Karan Johar? By connecting virtually. Alia, who is busy filming KJo's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, posted a photo with the filmmaker on Tuesday and wrote: "There's something about today... something really special. 9 years later we managed to connect and give each other some happy grateful virtual wala love." The photo features Alia and Karan Johar connecting to Sidharth and Varun Dhawan via video call on their respective mobiles.
Student Of The Year released on October 19 in 2012. It also starred late actor Rishi Kapoor, Sana Saeed, Ronit Roy, Sahil Anand, Ram Kapoor and Farida Jalal in supporting roles.
Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan also marked nine years of Student Of The Year on social media but more on that later.

"It's been 9 years. #tbt #SOTY," Varun Dhawan captioned these stills from the film.
Karan Johar shared the poster of Student Of The Year and wrote: "October is just filled with gifts that keep giving - and #SOTY is one such! Not only does it continue to give everyone many tunes to break out in a dance or hum along, style that is timeless and for me, many many memories! But the ultimate gifts have been these three students, now superstars who keep on giving their absolute best to the field of cinema! Couldn't be prouder and here's to the film that started it all! #9YearsOfSOTY."
A sequel to Student Of The Year was released in 2019 and it starred Tiger Shroff alongside Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey.
