The long wait is over as the trailer of the much-awaited film of 2019—Gully Boy, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt is finally here. This is going to be the first time that both the actors will share the silver screen.
The 2 minutes 42-second trailer portrays Ranveer Singh’s journey from a struggling street boy who is passionate about rapping but unable to pursue it because of his life’s circumstances.
Ranveer’s journey from Mumbai’s streets to becoming one of India’s most remarkable rappers is clearly evident and his determination to make it big is quite visible. On the other hand, Alia Bhatt’s character is bold and outspoken and plays Ranveer’s love interest who supports him in every situation.
