echoed

the

it
will
always
be
one
of
my
most
personal
films.
As
always,
I
will
keep
striving
towards
making
the
flag
of
Hindi
cinema
fly
high.
I'm
very

that
the
passionate
hard
work
that
our
cast
and
crew
put
into
creating
'Gully
Boy'
is
reaping

character's
blazing
passion
for
rap
through
his
performance

I'm
especially
proud
of

happy

Zoya!
-

She

"Gully
Boy
as
a
film
is
really
special
to
me.
What's
even
more
special
is
that
it
has
had
such
a
long
run
-
after
releasing
in
February,
it
won
at
the
Melbourne
Film
Festival,
then
it
was
also
shown
in
Japan.
Now,
it's
been
selected
as
India's
official
entry
for
the
Academy.
So,
here
on,
I
just
hope,
pray
and
wish
that
we
make
it
to
the
nomination
and
then
win.
This
is
a
first
and
it's
a
big
deal
for
us.
As
a
team,
we
are
very
excited."
