Ranveer Singh is currently busy shooting for Zoya Akhtar's 'Gully Boy' based on rappers Divine and Naezy. Ranveer is teaming up with Zoya Akhtar again after 'Dil Dhadakne Do' and we bet that them reuniting for a film is going to be all things amazing! Talking to a leading daily about the film, he said, "It’s very close to my heart. My first film, 'Band Baaja Baaraat' is very special to me. After that, if there’s any film that’s close to my heart, it’s 'Gully Boy'. I want to put these boys in the spotlight. I want to be a champion for their cause and provide a bigger platform for such amazing talents to shine through."

Talking about the film's director, Zoya, he said, "Zoya and I really get each other. I’m connected with her on a personal level. We speak to each other openly and are absolutely honest with each other. For me, that’s a unique dynamic. She holds a very special place in my heart." Talking about being an actor, he said, “If you ask me, ‘Did you imagine all of this when you thought of becoming an actor?’ I would say, ‘I had imagined certain things, but it has gone beyond my wildest imagination’. I never thought that these things would happen to me. Now I am blessed with these opportunities, the best thing I can do is to give them my all," Ranveer said.
