Director Karan Johar, who is known to make larger-than-life and long films, has made his shortest one till date in Student Of The Year.
The duration of the film will be a little over 120 minutes, while each of his previous four films have been over three hours long.
Johar was recently quoted saying that this was the shortest film of his career and that after the editing, it should be around 135-140 minutes at maximum.
The filmmaker has directed Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and My Name Is Khan so far, out of which the last one was the shortest. Johar is trying to follow the current trend of making shorter films in the industry.
A source was quoted saying that most of his productions, which have not been directed by him, have been of shorter duration as well, so he has done the same for his film as well.
The source adds that Student Of The Year hasn't been designed as a saga which requires an extended story to told and considering the film doesn't have any superstars, it would be difficult to hold the audience for three hours.
Student of the Year, starring Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra, is set to release on October 19.
