Gully Boy’s trailer will be out on January 9. Ranveer, who is essaying the character of an underground rapper, had earlier said he is attached to the story. “It is a very special story, one that I am closely attached to. It is set against the backdrop of flourishing desi hip hop scene coming out of Bombay (Mumbai).

“It is the story which represents Mumbai in its true sense and the city is my home town, these are my people, this is my language, so this is the story I am really attached to. It’s an underdog story about a kid who broke through from great adversity in life to make it as a recording artiste,” he added. Gully Boy is scheduled to release on February 14.

Ranveer and Deepika tied the knot in Italy in November after dating for six years. The two threw many wedding bashes in Mumbai and Bangalor which were attended by their friends, family and colleagues from Bollywood.
