Even though it’s been almost a year since the release of Bollywood Star, Ranveer Singh’s ‘Gully Boy, which left the views in a whirlpool of emotions, it’s interesting to note how anything related to the movie still manages to make headlines. The movie was nothing less than a rollercoaster ride of its own since its release.
Besides the chatter of mixed reviews ranging from incredible to lukewarm, the hit film was also sent as India’s official entry for the 2020 Oscars but sadly, it failed to make it to the nomination list. Despite the string of backlashes it received, Gully Boy still retains a proud and loyal fan base.

And the latest member to join the fan club of the movie is none other than the legendary South African fielder, Jonty Rhodes, who confessed to feeling rather wrecked after watching Ranveer’s movie.

Praising the Movie and the actors for their performance, Rhodes tweeted: “Been listening to the #GullyBoy soundtrack ever since meeting @SiddhantChturvD last year at an event, finally got to watch the entire movie on my @emirates to India last night. Thanks to subtitles, I laughed; cried and had goosebumps @RanveerOfficial @aliaa08@kalkikanmani.”

Besides suggesting Rhodes a list of other must-watch Bollywood movies, some fans even went to the extent of tagging Rhodes in their Tweets, asking him to ‘permanently settle’ here and fully embrace India. Here are some of the noteworthy replies:
Sir you should permanently settle in India
