Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy is surely one of the anticipated films of 2019. And after sharing the posters of Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, the makers have released a trailer announcement video on Friday morning.
The 1.30 minute video shows Ranveer Singh’s character as “voice of streets”.

It starts with the beatbox and finally, we see Ranveer rapping and preparing the lyrics in the streets of Mumbai. Alia Bhatt is introduced in the same intense look, and in some scenes, Alia and Ranveer’s blossoming love is seen. A glimpse of Kalki Koechlin as the carefree girl is also witnessed.

In the end of the video, the release date of Gully Boy is revealed. The video ends with Ranveer saying, “Apna Time Aayega”.
The tagline of teaser reads as Asli Hip Hop, which might mean that the makers are focusing on Hip-Hop culture in India.
Ranveer had earlier termed Gully Boy a “great underdog story”. “They find their inspiration through music and art. The music that is socially relevant. So, it was important for me to also give a platform to all this new talent,” he told IANS.
Gully Boy is directed by Zoya Akhtar and produced by Excel Entertainment — Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. The film is scheduled to be released on 14 February 2019. The trailer will be released on 9 February.
Ranveer Singh crossed ₹3,000 crore across the globe and called 'Dhurandhar' the biggest Indian film ever made. Japan wasn't listening. Fewer than 900 people turned up on day one.
When the teaser for YRF ’s Alpha first dropped, the public response was overwhelmingly underwhelming. Audiences widely questioned the casting choice of Alia Bhatt and noted that Bobby Deol’s Haryanvi accent felt jarringly out of place.
Two films, two very different bets, and one big question hanging over Alia Bhatt's career. 'Jigra' came with high hopes and left with a box office disaster despite its hefty budget. Now 'Alpha' steps in with an entire franchise behind it.
