Zoya Akhtar has decided to write her next about Mumbai's street rappers and it has been tentatively titled Gully Boy. The film is a coming-of-age film inspired by real life rappers from Mumbai's chawls. The director is a huge fan of hip-hop music and was very intrigued by these artists from the ghettos. She found some of them extremely talented. Without a lot of resources and exposure, these artists have created a space for themselves. She instantly took to researching on the subject and has been hanging out with internet sensations like Rapper Divine and Rapper Naezy, who have a fan following of their own. All this and more research; both primary and secondary helped the director in the scripting process. The ace director has concluded her scripting process and the film will go on floors soon.
