It seems Ranveer Singh's popularity is spreading to new international markets. After impressing the audiences in Indian and overseas territories, Singh's Gully Boy is now releasing in Japan next month. And, the superstar is thrilled that audiences there would get to see the real story of the rap revolution in India.
"I am very happy and proud that Gully Boy is releasing in Japan. It is a proud moment for all of us who have worked on the film that our film is traveling to the vast nation of Japan and we hope that they all see it and like it," says Ranveer.
While he himself hasn't been to Japan yet, he hopes to visit it soon. "I have never been to Japan but only learnt, heard and seen the most wonderful things about the land of the rising sun. I hope to go there someday!" he adds.
Directed by Zoya Akhtar, the film received positive reviews from critics and made over Rs 165 crores in India and Rs 72 crores in the overseas market. Ranveer, who turned into a rap/hip-hop artist in the film, garnered heaps of praise for his acting as a boy from the streets of Mumbai who dreams big and achieves his goals. Two songs from the film, Asli Hip Hop and Apna Time Aayega, broke the internet and went on to become the top most listened songs on the charts in India.
