Last seen in Rakhee Sandaliya’s Ribbon, actress Kalki Koechlin has been roped in to play an important role in Zoya Akhtar's upcoming directorial, Gully Boy. The film features Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in lead roles.
Though nothing much is known about Koechlin's role in the movie, reports suggest that the actress might play a rapper just like Ranveer Singh in the film which is inspired by the real-life story of Mumbai street rappers Divine and Naezy.
Gully Boy will mark the second collaboration between Kalki Koechlin and Zoya Akhtar. They previously worked on Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), which also starred Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol.
The film, which is being bankrolled by Excel Entertainment, is expected to mount floors in February. It will be shot at various locations in Mumbai.
