Gully Boy a COPY of 8 Mile? Zoya Akhtar finally addresses the criticism

She said that 8 Mile is the biggest reference for a movie about rappers so the masses are comparing it with Gully Boy. But she said that the Ranveer Singh starrer is very specific to our space and people will know this when they watch the film. She added that people compared Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara with The Hangover but when the movie came out, it was different so she is not reacting to these things.

Ranveer Singh has already worked with Zoya in Dil Dhadakne Do and this is his second venture. Zoya claimed that he is very giving as an actor and he loves to co-create. For Alia she said that she is very special because she has a centered instinct which always works in her favour.

Ranveer and Alia did not leave any stone unturned to make sure that the movie is promoted well. So it will be interesting to see how it turns out at the box office.
