Kalki Koechlin is all about “desi” rap these days, as the actress gears up to record a song with Ranveer Singh for Zoya Akhtar's upcoming 'Gully Boy'. The film is based on the lives of rappers of Dharavi, Maharashtra, Vivian Fernandes or Divine as he is known, and Naezy. “We did not prepare much except that we listened to a lot of rap. I started listening to Divine, Naezy, and tried to understand where this voice was coming from. My character has studied music in Berkeley and she comes back and is producing a video, she also writes music as well,” Kalki said.
“I listened to a lot of rap, especially to get into that zone because Ranveer and I have to sing a song together. Anand Tiwari is doing the music of the film, so he is teaching me the song,” she added. All praises for director Zoya, Kalki said, “I love Zoya, she is so much fun. She is tomboyish, playful on the sets. She has a great sense of humour and timing and that shows in her script. At the same time, she is specific with what she wants as a director.” Set to release on February 14 next year, the film stars Ranveer and Alia Bhatt in the lead.
