Ranveer Singh is a passionate
fan of rap music and he has tried his hand at rapping too. Ranveer enthralled everybody
when he turned rapper for the title track of Ladies vs Ricky Bahl. Furthermore,
he even performed at several award functions and we can't wait to see him play
the role of a rapper in Gully Boy.
As per a famous daily, Singh has already recorded tracks for
the Zoya Akhtar directorial. He was often spotted at several recording studios
in the city. Gully Boy is a biopic inspired by the lives of two rappers Vivian
Fernandes aka Divine and Naved Shaikh aka Naezy.
When Vivian was asked about it, he specified, "In 2016,
I was performing at a (now defunct) club in Lower Parel. Zoya was in the
audience and after the show, we spoke about Mumbai's burgeoning hip-hop
culture. She had heard my work online and took my number. She then visited my
house and told me that she wanted to make a film on Mumbai's street rappers.
Our conversation mainly revolved around my inspirations and ambitions."
He even disclosed that Zoya and the co-writer of the movie
Reema Kagti visited their gully in the city, where they shot their hit song Mere
Gully Mein. Little did they know, soon Ranveer will play the leading man in the
movie based on them.
Speaking about Ranveer, Divine told, "He's a cool guy
and already dresses like a rapper so he needs no tips in the fashion department
from me. It is one thing to get audiences to wake up and listen to our kind of
music, which is not about girls, gold and drugs but about real life in Mumbai.
But it is an even greater thing when mainstream actors like Ranveer chose to be
a Gully Boy. He's now a part of our movement."
When questioned if he will be acting and rapping with
Ranveer, Divine further added, "I would love to because I know that Zoya is
keeping it as real as possible. But Ranveer has already been rapping and
recording for the film. He knows my songs, Jungli Sher, Farak and Mere
Gully Mein by heart and keeps singing them. Recently, he
recorded a track with a band of rappers too. I've heard him rap and he is good
at it. I am sure he'll be great in the film."
Gully Boy also stars Alia
Bhatt opposite Ranveer and is set to go on floors in the month of
November.
