is
a
close
friend
of

Kapoor
and
had
approached
him
to
star
in
the
movie
around
2
years
ago
while
the
casting
was
still
in
progress.
Reports
state
that
Ranbir
Kapoor
turned
down
the
movie
as
he
was
not
offered
the
role
of
the
protagonist
and
didn't
want
to
be
seen
playing
second
fiddle
to
Ranveer
Singh.
I'd
Work
With
Ranveer
Singh
If
We
Both
Like
The
Script,
Said
Ranbir
Kapoor
Surprisingly,
during
the
promotions
of
Sanjay
Dutt's
biopic
Sanju,
Ranbir
Kapoor
was
asked
if
he'd
like
to
share
screen
space
with
Ranveer
Singh,
to
which
he
had
answered
in
a
positive
way
by
saying
that
he'd
surely
love
to
work
with
Ranveer
Singh,
provided
both
of
them
like
the
script
of
the
film.
Ranbir
Kapoor
Had
Also
Turned
Down
Zoya

Not
just
Gully
Boy,
reports
state
that
Ranbir
Kapoor
had
previously
turned
down
Zoya
Akhtar's
Dil
Dhadakne
Do
in
2015.
He
had
to
star
alongside
Kareena
Kapoor,
but
both
of
them
turned
it
down
and
the
role
then
went
on
to
Ranveer
Singh
and
Priyanka
Chopra.

there
are
reports
that
Ranbir
Kapoor
turned
down
Zoya

Zindagi
Na
Milegi
Dobara
in
2011
as
it
had
other
actors
in
the
lead
role
and
he
didn't
like
the
fact
of
sharing
screen
space
with
them.
