Our weekend has begun on a great note all thanks to Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. The two talented stars, who have had a great 2018, were seen in the teaser of Gully Boy released today. Ranveer was seen rapping like a pro and Alia looked breathtaking in the “Asli Hip-Hop” video. Following the release of the teaser, fans and celebrities from the industry have been raving about the same.
From Karan Johar to Deepika Padukone, everyone applauded the two stars. But Arjun Kapoor went a step ahead in praising the team of Gully Boy.
The Namaste England actor shared the Gully Boy teaser and praised Zoya Akhtar and Ranveer Singh. He said, “Asli talent ki vulcano #ZoyaAkhtar with apna dil ka raja @RanveerOfficial.” But it was his impression of Alia in the movie’s teaser that caught our attention.
Arjun deemed Alia a mini Meryl Streep with the comment, “mini meryll (Alia)(sic).” Wait, you don’t know who she is? How about you check out movies like Devil Wears Prada, Julie & Julia and Iron Lady to name a few. The actress has not only worked in several movies, she is also the highest nominated actress at the Oscars. Meryl has won 21 nominations of which she’s taken home three of the Academy Awards home.
Now, Arjun’s comparison is huge! And we’re sure he finds Alia an extremely talented artiste.
However, the poor actor became a target of trolls on Twitter for his simple statement. Here are a few of the comments by Twitter users:
Asli talent ki vulcano #ZoyaAkhtar with apna dil ka raja @RanveerOfficial & mini meryll @aliaa08 produced by the Maverick trendsetters @FarOutAkhtar & @ritesh_sid cannot wait for Valentines Day cause it’s a date with #GullyBoy !!! https://t.co/fdn63fCtdF
