Mumbai: Alia Bhatt-Ranveer Singh starrer
"Gully Boy" will hit theatres on February 14 next year.
The film is directed by Zoya Akhtar and produced by Excel
Entertainment. It follows the story of slum rappers of
Dharavi, Mumbai, a statement issued here said.
The makers also unveiled the first look of the film on
social media in which both Alia and Ranveer are seen in
simple, de-glam yet pensive looks.
The "Student of the Year" actor has her head covered with
a hijab, while the "Padmaavat" star is wearing a hoodie.
Ranveer's character in the film is reportedly inspired
by real-life rappers, Divine and Naezy.
Ranveer is paired opposite Alia for the first time on
the big screen, having been seen earlier in an advertisement.
The musical-drama film marks the second outing for Zoya
and Ranveer, while it is for the first time Alia has
collaborated with the "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" director.
The film also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Kalki
Koechlin in pivotal roles.
