Zoya Akhtar is known for making movies that are like nothing else made in Bollywood. Her movies have an uncomplicated, yet over-the-top storyline, and while it touches home for many, it somehow dodges for many too, but in the end, her movies are loved by many. From Luck By Chance, which showed the journey of a newcomer in the glamorous world of Bollywood, to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which has turned into the best road-trip or travel movie ever made in Bollywood. Even Dil Dhadakne Do, which was shot and made on a 5-star cruise was relevant for many who think their parents or their kids don’t understand them.
In short, Zoya Akhtar knows what she’s doing with her movies and we would just love to repeat the same for her next movie – Gully Boy.
Gully Boy stars Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in the lead and on Monday they informed their fans about finally starting the shoot of the movie, which also happens to be their first Bollywood project together.

Ranveer Singh on Twitter
Such wonderfully warm wishes pouring in for #GullyBoy ! Thank you all ! @aliaa08 @ritesh_sid @excelmovies feeling #blessed
Now, various pictures of the two actors are going viral on social media from the sets of Gully Boy. Both the actors can be seen sporting a rather simple look, which is definitely something that one won’t expect from Zoya Akhtar’s movies. However, it seems that with Gully Boy, Akhtar is trying to explore the gritty regions of Mumbai, including the slums, where the majority of the film is said to take place.
While Alia looks simple in her fully covered Indian attire, Ranveer too has a very casual look with an interesting haircut, to be true. Check out the pictures over here:

Gully Boy is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment. The story of this movie is said to be inspired by the lives of Mumbai Chawl’s street rapper Naezy and Divine. This musical duo has gained an international level success right now, however, it would definitely be interesting to see where they started from.
In order to get the character right, Ranveer Singh even attended few street rapping sessions with real street rappers, to get how they actually behave.
As for the Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh’s chemistry, we already know how good they look together, both in their original and weird avatar, all thanks to various TVCs they did together.
