The film is loosely based on desi rappers Naved Shaikh and Vivian Fernandes, aka Naezy and Divine, who have seen mainstream success since their song ‘Mere Gully Mein’ went viral in 2015. The two are known for their lyrics about growing up in Mumbai’s slums and their struggle to make a name for themselves.
Gully Boy marks the second time Ranveer and Zoya are working together after collaborating on Dil Dhadakne Do in 2015. It releases on 14 February.
Ranveer had shared a shot of himself on the film’s sets earlier.
A video of Ranveer rapping with Divine did the rounds on social media after the latter attended the star’s wedding reception in Mumbai.
He also made an impromptu performance at Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ wedding reception in December last year.
