Ranveer Singh poses with rapper Naezy, one of the inspirations behind his Gully Boy role
The Gully Boy trailer, featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, has been creating waves ever since its release. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Gully Boy has Ranveer Singh play a rapper and Alia Bhatt, a medical student. The film is loosely inspired from the lives of Mumbai-based rappers Divine and Naved Shaikh aka Naezy. The project is produced by by Zoya Akhtar's Tiger Baby and Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment productions.
On Wednesday, Singh shared a picture with the original Gully Boy, rapper Naezy, and it is giving us some major cool vibes.
Even the rapper shared a post with Singh. In the picture, Ranveer can be seen sporting an olive hoodie and joggers, with he paired up with a cool cap and goggles. Naezy looked dapper as he chose to dress in all-black.
