 "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.
The first song, Apna Time Aayega, was released earlier this week and it is a hard-hitting rap performed by Singh. Mid-day reports Singh trained with rappers Divine and Naezy for 10 months before recording his first number for the film. The film has four songs performed by the actor, including a re-imagined version of Divine and Naezy’s hit ‘Meri Gully Mein’. Gully Boy is all set to hit the big screens on the Valentine’s Day, 14 February.
