Javed Akhtar on his preliminary skepticism about Gully Boy
Javed Akhtar mentioned, “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 jaya karti thi. Hong Kong jaati thi. Kahaan tumhe ye sab (Mumbai’s underbelly) 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 go for 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).”
Javed Akhtar praises Zoya Akhtar
However, Javed Akhtar said that once he watched Gully Boy, he was proven wrong. “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 had stayed in slums all her life. The film portrays the minutest details of the characters and their relationships quite well),” he mentioned.
