Zoya
Akhtar's
Gully
Boy
received
positive
reviews
and
praises
from
every
corner.
The
film
has
managed
to
collect
a
total
of
Rs
71.25
crore
at
the
box
office
in
just
four
days
of
its
release.
Actor
Vijay
Varma,
who
plays
the
role
of
Moeen
in
the
film,
revealed
in
an
interview
with
Pinkvilla
that
acting
in
Gully
Boy
was
one
of
the
most
enriching
experiences
of
his
life.
He
also
said
that
Ranveer
was
very
generous
and
committed
to
the
story
and
to
the
part.
Talking
about
his
character,
he
said,
"The
role
came
to
me
via
an
audition.
They
called
me
for
a
test;
I
went
for
it,
and
a
few
days
later,
they
told
me
that
Zoya
wants
to
meet
me.
I
went
to
the
Excel
office
and
I
met
her
where
she
made
me
read
the
scenes
a
few
times.
Then
later,
I
got
a
call
that
I
have
been
locked
for
the
part.
After
a
few
days,
the
script
was
sent
to
me
and
I
was
blown
away
by
the
script.
It
was
a
dream
to
work
with
Zoya
as
she
has
always
been
one
of
my
favourites."
He
added,
"I
saw
that
character
as
absolutely
real
in
the
kind
of
world
that
he
belongs
to.
In
the
world
that
he
belongs
to,
there
are
no
demarcations
that
this
is
morally
correct
or
not.
That's
the
world
of
survival
where
you
are
making
sure
that
you
have
food
to
eat.
So,
when
you
are
in
that
kind
of
situation,
the
right
and
wrong
are
merged.
But
having
said
that,
I
also
knew
that
on
the
front,
he
is
working
in
a
garage
and
on
the
back
of
that,
he
is
also
stealing
cars
and
peddling
drugs.
So,
there
are
multiple
layers
to
the
character.
So
it
is
very
difficult
to
figure
out
this
guy
in
one
scene.
Basically,
he
is
just
a
guy
who
is
trying
to
survive.
When
he
needs
more
money,
he
will
go
for
it."
Vijay
also
praised
his
co-star
Ranveer
and
said,
"It
was
probably
one
of
the
most
enriching
experiences
of
my
life.
Ranveer
was
very
generous
and
committed
to
the
story
and
to
the
part.
I
felt
honoured
to
be
in
a
frame
with
such
a
prolific
actor.
A
lot
of
my
scenes
worked
because
he
was
cooperating
well
as
all
my
scenes
were
with
Ranveer
Singh."
He
went
on
to
add,
"Zoya
is
the
most
sensitive
and
most
supportive
director.
She
is
very
democratic
in
her
working
style.
She
makes
sure
that
there
is
a
voice
that
everybody
can
have
and
they
can
voice
it.
So,
she
is
very
open
to
opinions
and
feedback.
There
were
times
when
I
improvised
my
character
in
the
film.
Sometimes,
Ranveer
and
I
used
to
change
something
and
she
would
give
a
thought
to
it.
The
script
is
so
solid
and
foolproof,
we
would
go
all
prepared;
so,
she
just
allowed
everything
we
wanted,
especially
improvisations
when
I
wanted
to
do
in
my
character."
"I
am
very
grateful
and
I
feel
so
humbled
and
loved.
I
never
had
that
kind
of
feeling
throughout
my
career.
I
am
grateful
and
at
the
same
time,
I
just
hope
this
love
and
success
keeps
coming.
I
want
to
thank
people
who
reached
out
to
me," he
concluded.
