Taking a break from the controversies surrounding his upcoming film Padmavati who is ban from many states of India, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh is enjoying his time on the sets of Gully Boy. In a recent video posted by Yash Raj Film on Twitter, Ranveer can be seen in his gully rapper avatar having a one-on-one with Mumbai rapper Vivian Fernandes, better known by his stage name Divine.
Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Gully Boy also brings to the screen the fresh pairing of Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh. The film is based on Naezy also known as Naved Shaikh, who is a gully rapper from a Kurla slum. Talking about Ranveer, Naved had earlier said in an interview, “I like the guy. We worked together for a song in Hey Bro (2015). He is a versatile actor and I have no doubts that he can effortlessly play an emperor in Padmavati and a rapper in this film.”
Apart from the funky Mumbaikar role that Ranveer will be donning for the first time in Gully Boy, what has made fans excited is Ranveer’s rapper avatar in the movie. And while Zoya and Ranveer’s hit jodi has already worked its magic in 2015’s Dil Dhadkne Do, with Alia Bhatt added to the picture, Gully Boy looks like a project to watch out for.
