Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt have begun shooting for their next, Zoya Akhtar's 'Gully Boy' and this movie will mark the first collaboration between Ranveer and Alia. Speaking to a leading daily about his upcoming film, he said, “This is my first feature film with Alia Bhatt, my second with Zoya Akhtar, two extremely talented people. It’s a space never explored before, a space I relate to.”
About Zoya Akhtar, he said, “My sincere thanks to Zoya for being with me. She has waited since quite some time to make this film. She pitched it to me during 'Befikre'. Zoya and Reema Kagti, our premium writers have written such a moving script. What also makes ‘Gully Boy’ special, is that I’m going to play a full-fledged Mumbaiya character. It’s my tribute to my city.”
Talking about Alia, he said, “I’ve worked with Alia in ads. People like our pairing. I recently did a fashion show with her. I love Alia’s energy. She’s easygoing and a lot of fun. She has no qualms, no airs about herself. Amidst the ‘divaness’, she’s still a humble and normal girl at heart. It’s wonderful to see her head firmly on her shoulders even after achieving so much success at such a young age. Even when I collaborate with her on ads, though it’s just a day’s work, it becomes memorable.”
