'Gully
Boy
Is
The
Story
Of
Hip
Hop'
Rapper
Divine
aka
Vivian
Fernandez
had
shared
with
Bollywood
Life
that,
"This
(Gully
Boy)
is
the
story
of
hip-hop
and
hip-hop
from
the
gully.
This
is
the
story
of
all
of
us."
He
added,
"Zoya
reached
out
to
me
in
2016
after
seeing
one
of
my
gigs,
and
she
wanted
to
turn
this
idea,
the
rise
of
gully
hip-hop
into
a
film.
If
it
helped
my
message
reach
more
people...
I
was
on-board
with
that."
Apna
Time
Aayega!
Divine
is
thrilled
is
with
the
choice
of
Ranveer
Singh
to
be
the
lead
in
a
film
about
underground
hip
hop
in
Mumbai.
In
an
interview
with
Anupama
Chopra,
he
said,
"He
(Ranveer)
is
a
fan
of
hip
hop.
You
talk
to
him
about
hip
hop
and
he'll
tell
you
things
that
I
don't
know.
He
knows
his
ones
and
twos.
So
when
I
was
on
set,
I
was
like,
‘Arrey
this
guy
can
really
pull
this
off.' He's
into
the
character's
zone,
and
when
he
raps,
he's
on
it.
I've
been
in
the
studio
with
him.
We
made
some
great
music
together."
Gully
Boy
Releases
On
Feb

At
the
trailer
launch
of
Gully

Ranveer
shared
his
journey
of
working
on
Gully
Boy.
He
said,
"It
was
the
most
fulfilling
journey
for
me.
Look
at
what
has
happened
to
Spitfire
and
Divine,
they
are
such
great
artistes.
Interacting
with
them
in
the
prep
workshops,
working
on
the
dialogues
and
collaborating
with
them
for
the
music
of
the
film
has
been
an
experience
of
a
lifetime."
