Actor Ranveer Singh says he was born to do Zoya Akhtar’s “Gully Boy” as only he could have done justice to the character of a rapper. The film’s official trailer was released on Wednesday and shows the actor in the role of an up and coming rapper who sets out to achieve his dream by rhyming about his life on the Mumbai streets.
“This is my film and I think only I could have done it. It is the coming together of so many things like rap, hip-hop music, which I have loved since I was a kid, Mumbai the city. Zoya Akhtar is my friend, confidante. Ritesh Sidhwani is like my father. I admire Farhan Akhtar and want him to direct me some day. We are lucky Alia Bhatt is part of our film,” Ranveer told reporters here at the trailer launch of “Gully Boy”. “It was the most fulfilling experience. To be with these raw talent.. I was very excited,” he added.
