One of 2019’s most hyped movie releases, the Ranveer Singh-starrer Gully Boy – inspired by the life and success of Mumbai-based hip-hop stars, DIVINE and Naezy has finally shared its first trailer. With the long awaited movie slated for a release on February 14, Gully Boy narrates the story of a budding talent from Mumbai who goes on to become one of the most prominent hip-hop talents to come out of the country. Featuring Alia Bhatt, Kalki Koechlin, Ali Asgar, Parmeet in main roles, the film’s trailer also features two new songs by DIVINE.
DIVINE aka Vivian Fernandes, who spent a large of 2018 working closely with the cast and crew of Gully Boy – especially Ranveer Singh – also has contributed five tracks to the original soundtrack (OST), two of which were showcased in the trailer, ‘Azaadi’ and ‘Apna time aayega’. While the former track has been performed by DIVINE and produced by Dub Sharma, and is a stinging account of corrupt, lackadaisical governments that are apathetic to public issues, ‘Apna time aayega’ – also produced by Dub Sharma – has been performed by Ranveer, whose earlier rap in the movie teaser, ‘Asli hip-hop’, was also applauded by hip-hop and film fans alike.
