Javed Akhtar was doubtful of Zoya Akhtar making Gully Boy
While in a conversation with Aaj Tak, veteran lyricist and Zoya’s father Javed Akhtar revealed that even though he is extremely proud of his daughter, he was in two minds when she was making Gully Boy. He said in Hindi, “Ye jab bana rahi thi Gully Boy, to mujhe lag raha tha ye kaise banayegi? Arey tum Bandstand pe rehti ho, chhuttiyon mein London America jaaya karti thi. Hong Kong jaati thi. Kahaan tumhe ye sab ke baare mein kya malum hoga? Aisa main dil mein sochta tha. Bolne ki to himmat nahi thi mujhe (When she was making Gully Boy, I thought ‘how will she make it?’ You stay in Bandstand, and used to holiday in London, America and Hong Kong. How would you know about all this? I used to think about it, but never had the courage to tell her).”
But after the film’s screening, his perception changed. “Magar jab maine wo film dekhi, to mujhe aisa laga ki saari zindagi ye slum mein rahi hai. Isne slum ko pee liya tha. Slum ke bareek se bareek baatein jo characters ke relationship hai, wo dikhayi deti hai. (When I watched the film, it felt as if Zoya has stayed in slums all her life. The film portrays the minutest details of the characters),” he Javed Akhtar added.
