“Genuinely a boy at heart but so much to learn from him”- Alia Bhatt praises Gully Boy co-star Ranveer Singh

In a candid interview with Filmfare recently, Alia Bhatt opened up about working with quirk-man Ranveer Singh in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy. She called him fantastic and a boy at heart. She said, “Ranveer Singh is fantastic. He is my Gully Boy. Genuinely, a boy at heart but so much to learn from him. He totally blown me away with his performance in Padmaavat & I think he's going to blow people away with his performance in Gully Boy which is very different.”

Alia, then, went onto praise Zoya Akhtar with whom she is working for the very first time. “Zoya is fantastic. She is so funny, so chilled out and so focused and organized. I have never been on a set like this where everything is just happening and I don’t worry about anything. It’s amazing and a great vibe. I think that vibe will, hopefully, translate on the screen.”

Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Gully Boy would be the second collaboration between Zoya and Ranveer after Dil Dhadakne Do. The film is slated to release on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2019.
