Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, who are collaborating for Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy wrapped up the film recently. However, the work is not really finished for Ranveer as he will record a song with his other co-star, Kalki Koechlin, who plays a video producer in the film. Since Gully Boy is based on the street rappers of Mumbai, the said song will have rap in it and Kalki is learning how to do that. As for Ranveer, since he is a playing the rapper himself, he already took the lessons and is a pro at it by now, we are sure of it.
Kalki confirmed the news as she told PTI, “We did not prepare much except that we listened to a lot of rap. I started listening to Divine, Naezy, and tried to understand where this voice was coming from. My character has studied music in Berkeley and she comes back and is producing a video, she also writes music as well,” said Kalki. She also said that she listened to a lot of rap. “I listened to a lot of rap, especially to get into that zone because Ranveer and I have to sing a song together. Anand Tiwari, is doing the music of the film, so he is teaching me the song,” the actress was further quoted.

Gully Boy is Kalki’s second collab with Zoya after Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. On that Kalki said, “I love Zoya, she is so much fun. She is tomboyish, playful on the sets. She has a great sense of humour and timing and that shows in her script. At the same time, she is specific with what she wants as a director.”
Gully Boy is set to hit the theatres on February 14, 2019.
