However, the film has been unable to attract the masses and, therefore, the numbers have dipped. Starring Ranveer Singh as the street rapper, Gully Boy stars Alia Bhatt as his love interest bringing to the screen the fresh chemistry of the duo. The film also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, Vijay Raaz, Vijay Varma and Kalki Koechlin in pivotal roles.
