Ranveer Singh to begin Zoya Akhtar’s rapper flick after ‘Befikre’ release
Bollywood star Ranveer Singh will put his money where his mouth is, as he gears up to play a rapper in Zoya Akhtar’s next. The star, who has rapped before for television commercials, will show off his skills on the big screen. As reported early this year, Ranveer will play an underdog who rises from the slums of Mumbai (Dharavi) to become a rapper with a heart and a voice that addresses Dalit oppression. The film tentatively titled 'Gully Boy', is inspired by real-life rappers like Divine and Naezy whose work has ranged from speaking about petty crimes in their respective Mumbai neighbourhoods of Kurla and Andheri to sharing stories about finding a voice and becoming activists. Latest reports suggest that the film will go on floors after the release of Ranveer’s romantic flick ‘Befikre’. He has also reportedly been signed on for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s periodic drama ‘Padmavati’ with Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor.
