The first time we saw Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt together in those Make My Trip ads, we couldn’t help but hope someone casts them together, and then it happened! Zoya Akhtar signed them for her film Gully Boy, and it happens to be one of the most awaited films in recent times. They’ve been filming in the streets of Dharavi for the last three weeks and shared the first look of the film too. Check it out.

Interesting to see them in such different avatars, amirite? Anyway, in a recent chat with Republic TV, Ranveer was asked about what working with Alia is like and he had the nicest things to say about her.

Alia Bhatt is one of the most mind-boggling actors that I have ever worked with. She is a very special actor. The film is shaping up very well. We released the first look from Gully Boy and people have really felt some kind of emotion just looking at those two still images we released.

Sweet! With two talented actors like these, we can hardly wait to catch this on the silver screen.

Ranveer is currently riding high on the success of Padmaavat and we caught up with him to know how he feeling – you can read the full interview here.
