Ranveer Singh says he was born to do Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy as only he could have done justice to the character of a rapper as he loved hip-hop and rap music since a kid.
Actor
Ranveer
Singh
says
he
was
born
to
do
Zoya
Akhtar's
Gully
Boy
as
only
he
could
have
done
justice
to
the
character
of
a
rapper.
The
film's
official
trailer
was
released
on
Wednesday
and
shows
the
actor
in
the
role
of
an
up
and
coming
rapper
who
sets
out
to
achieve
his
dream
by
rhyming
about
his
life
on
the
Mumbai
streets.
"This
is
my
film
and
I
think
only
I
could
have
done
it.
It
is
the
coming
together
of
so
many
things
like
rap,
hip-hop
music,
which
I
have
loved
since
I
was
a
kid.
Zoya
Akhtar
is
my
friend,
confidante.
Ritesh
Sidhwani
is
like
my
father.
I
admire
Farhan
Akhtar
and
want
him
to
direct
me
some
day.
We
are
lucky
Alia
Bhatt
is
part
of
our
film," Ranveer
told
reporters
here
at
the
trailer
launch
of
Gully
Boy.
"It
was
the
most
fulfilling
experience.
To
be
with
these
raw
talent.
I
was
very
excited,"
he
added.
Asked
about
actor-wife
Deepika
Padukone's
response
to
the
trailer,
Ranveer
said
she
has
watched
the
teaser
and
loved
it.
The
film
has
the
tagline
of
'Apna
time
aagaya' and
when
asked
about
his
super
successful
2018
at
a
time
when
even
the
three
Khans
-
Shah
Rukh,
Salman
Khan
and
Aamir
Khan
-
did
not
work,
Ranveer
bypassed
the
question
in
his
trademark
style.
"If
you
are
saying
so,
I
will
agree
to
it," he
quipped.
"I
do
feel
bad
when
films
fail
to
do
well
at
the
box
office.
If
films
do
well,
I
am
more
than
happy
for
everyone.
I
do
feel
happier
when
my
own
films
do
better
than
everyone
else,"
he
added.
Gully
Boy,
also
stars
Alia
Bhatt
and
Kalki
Koechlin
and
is
all
set
to
release
on
February
14,
2019.
