Ahead of the release of his new film Gully Boy, based on the life of rappers in Mumbai, Ranveer Singh is introducing the "original Gully Boys" in a capsule series on social media. The first rapper to feature in the series is...no prizes for guessing this...Naved Shaikh also known as Naezy.
In a 39-second clip, Ranveer shared the first episode of the series, titled, Voice of the Streets, featuring 25-year-old Naezy as he raps his anthem in his ultimate style. Shot in a studio in Mumbai, the rap has been composed by Siddhant Shirodkar.
