Siddhanth Chaturvedi on moments before Gully Boy premiered

In the night Gully Boy premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2019, Siddhant Chaturvedi received an enthusiastic voice message from Ranveer Singh, the film`s lead, directed by Zoya Akhtar.

Ranveer Singh, unable to contain his excitement after the first viewing, predicted a life-changing experience for Siddhant, who was making his debut in the musical drama as a Mumbai street rapper.

Siddhant, now a star, shared in an interview how Ranveer foresaw the film`s success and their performances before the audience did.

He said, “Gully Boy was at Berlin Film Festival. I could not go… Limited crew was allowed. So, after our premiere, I got a voice note from Ranveer at around 2-3 am. ‘You killed it! Standing ovation.

You have no idea your life is going to change!’ He was so happy for me, and had seen the film for the first time. It was a long voice note and he kept saying, ‘What have you done, this is iconic, what a character.’ The first time I heard about my film was from him, and I knew that some magic has happened,”
