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.
FWICE, which represents around 30 lakh cine workers, had sent Ranveer three meeting invitations before issuing the directive. The actor's team received no advance and claims the film lacked a locked script even years after development began.
He spent 17 years building the system. Now he's asking a court to dismantle part of it. The man who once ran Bollywood's most powerful bodies has turned around, and filed a petition against one of them.
The sets were never built. The cameras never rolled. Yet 'Don 3' has managed to become one of Bollywood's most dramatic productions, playing out not on screen, but in boardrooms, federation offices, and now, in a phone call from Salman Khan.
