Ranveer Singh’s recent outing ‘Simmba’ saw him play a loud, over-the-top, brash cop in his self-confessed first-ever masala film.

While Ranveer has worked with his co-star Alia Bhatt in a few commercials, the audience’s attention was piqued ever since they were announced as the protagonists of ‘Gully Boy’.

Alia is also basking in glory with her last film ‘Raazi’ proving to be a hit with the masses and the critics alike.

Zoya Akhtar marks her return to ‘Gully Boy’ after a hiatus of almost four years after her last film ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, which also starred Ranveer.
