Zoya Akhtar confirms sequel for ‘Gully Boy’
After the resounding success of ‘Gully Boy’ (2019), Zoya Akhtar has confirmed it will get a sequel or an extension soon.
Talking to Deccan Chronicle, Akhtar said, “My co-writer Reema Kagti and I do feel there’s so much more to be said on the entire hip-hop culture in our country. And another film exploring the theme is being scripted and planned.”
Talking about why Akhtar did not take brother, Farhan Akhtar in the film, she said, “He just didn’t fit into Gully Boy. And we’re both sorry about it. Also, his image from the Rock On series is affiliated to an entirely different genre of music. It would have been a bit of a culture shock for the audience to suddenly see him swerve from stadium-rock to hip-hop.”
