Ranveer Singh sheds his Simmba persona for Zoya Akhtar s Gully Boy. The movie sees the actor turn into a rapper based out of Mumbai. The actor stars opposite Alia Bhatt in the film and we were left speechless when we saw the two get into the skin of their characters. While we were applauding the two stars, we couldn t help but remember Eminem-starrer 8 Mile. The international singer, who has sung hit numbers like Lose Yourself and Love The Way You Lie among many more, was seen in the 2002 movie playing a struggling rapper with a messed up life. The rapper participates in a rapping competition, which is a do-or-die moment of his life.
To brush up our memories, we decided to go back to the trailer of 8 Mile. And boy, we were in for a ride. There were at least three scenes from the trailer itself which we felt were recreated in Gully Boy s trailer. There are points in the Gully Boy trailer where Ranveer is seen practicing his rap, his gestures are extremely similar to Eminem in the movie. It feels as though Ranveer has drawn some inspiration from the Hollywood rapper.
Another scene that caught our attention in both the trailers was the solo performance by both the artists. In the Gully Boy trailer, you see Ranveer perform in front of an audience in a club. He is surrounded by a hall full of people replicating his hand gesture. The exact same scene is seen in 8 Mile. Eminem enthralls the audience with his mind-blowing rap to win their hearts.
There is also a moment when Ranveer is seen having a faceoff with another rapper in the trailer. In 8 Mile too, Eminem is seen having a face-off (obviously because it is a competition) and the setup is the same.
Check out both the trailers below and let us know your thoughts by tweeting to @bollywood_life.
While these were just a few scenes, we think Gully Boy will be different from 8 Mile, given that it is based on the life of Divine, an Indian rapper. Well, we ll have to wait and watch out for the film that is slated to release on February 14.
