EXCLUSIVE: Ranveer Singh's Gully Boy straight outta Eminem's 8 Mile? Director Zoya Akhtar reacts
Gully Boy director Zoya Akhtar reacts to Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt's upcoming film being compared to Eminem's 8 Mile.
Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt's Gully Boy is one of the much awaited films of the month. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, the film is all set to release tomorrow on February 14. The makers of the film left no stone unturned to promote the film and it has only managed to increase the value of Gully Boy. However, during the trailer release last month, Gully Boy was compared to Eminem's 8 Mile. Moviegoers found some striking similarities between Gully Boy and Eminem's 8 Mile. Many found it a rip-off of Eminem's story.
However, director Zoya Akhtar thinks that people had the same reaction to the trailer of her film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara too, but eventually, when the film released, people had a positive reaction. Talking EXCLUSIVELY to Pinkvilla, Zoya said, "I don't react to this as people had said the same thing about Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and when the film came out, nobody said anything. There is nothing to react as it is completely understandable that it is just a reference point." To people who have not watched 8 Mile, it is loosely based on American rapper Eminem's life and his struggle.
