Rapper Naezy, who is the inspiration behind ‘Gully Boy’, seems to have become good friends with the star. Naved Shaikh aka Naezy belonged to the slum areas of Bombay 70 and from there he went on to become a famous rapper. His rags to riches story is the backdrop of ‘Gully Boy’. In one of the interviews, Naezy had praised Ranveer and said, “I like the guy. We worked together for a song in Hey Bro (2015).  He is a versatile actor and I have no doubts that he can effortlessly play an emperor in ‘Padmavati’ and a rapper in this film.’

Further a recent report in In.com reveals how Ranveer is working on his accent for this film. “There is an accent to how people in Mumbai-70 talk and Ranveer is working hard to get that accent right. He is also working on top songs by both Divine and Naezy. You will be surprised how good Singh has got with the rap. Veer is a performer and loves to put up an impromptu performance for friends,” informed the source.

Alia Bhatt too is a part of this film.

Talking about ‘Padmavati’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus has been postponed to another date. Thanks to the aggressive protest by Karni Sena, the makers were forced to change the release date of the film. We now await the new release date of the film.
