Singh's
Gully
Boy

have
just
completed
shooting
of
Gully
Boy.
It
is
a
very
special
story,
one
that
I
am
closely
attached
to.
It
is
set
against
the
backdrop
of
flourishing
desi
hip-hop
scene
coming
out
of
Bombay
(Mumbai)."
"It
is
the
story
which
represents
Mumbai
in
its
true
sense
and
the
city
is
my
hometown,
these
are
my
people,
this
is
my
language
so
this
is
the
story
I
am
really
attached
to.
It's
an
underdog
story
about
a
kid
who
broke
through
from
great
adversity
in
life
to
make
it
as
a
recording
artist," the
handsome

just
have
to
believe
in
yourself
and
pursue
what
you
are
truly
passionate
about.
If
it's
coming
on
from
your
heart,its
right.
You
shouldn't
think
that
anything
out
of
your
reach
and
far-fetched
or
impossible
you
to
achieve.''
He
further
added,
''For
me,
to
be
a
Hindi
film
hero
was
the
dream
but
seemed
very
much
out
of
my
reach
until
I
had
a
realisation
that
I
can
accept
failure
but
I
can't
accept
not
trying.
So,
however,
daunting
the
odds
may
seem,
I
am
going
to
be
brave
and
muster
up
the
courage
and
do
what
my
heart
says.''
''I
just
want
to
say
youngster
out
there
to
follow
your
heart,
pursue
your
passion
and
don't
be
afraid
because
nothing
is
impossible,"
