Indian street rapper Naezy was first inspired by Sean Paul’s “Temperature” when he was just 13 years old. At 22, the rapper released the music video “Aafat” in 2014 and formed his hip-hop collective The Schizophrenics with his college friends. Gully Boy, inspired by the lives of underground artists Divine (Vivian Fernandes) and Naezy (Naved Shaikh), narrates the coming-of-age story of aspiring street rapper Murad Ahmed (played by Ranveer Singh) from Mumbai’s Dharavi slums. Zoya Akhar’s film loosely draws from the journeys these underground Indian rappers. Alia Bhatt also featured in the movie.
Naezy, who is currently seen in Bigg Boss OTT 3, in a recent episode shared some intriguing insights about the film and discussed how Gully Boy, the film based on his life, impacted him personally. In a video posted by Bigg Boss OTT 3’s makers on Instagram, actress Poulomi Polo Das asks Naezy, “Vo film (Gully Boy) aap hi pe bani thi kya? Mujhe baad me kisi ne bataya. (Was that film made on you? Someone told me later.)”
Naezy replies, “Haan. Asal mein vo film se bahut saare log jude huye hai. Vo pure hip-hop culture ko represent kiya hai humne. Lekin main character (Murad Ahmed) jo tha vo mere se inspire hua tha. ‘Aafat’ gaana, mera jo pehla song tha, jo viral hua tha, yeh gaane ke through unhone mujhe dhunda tha. (Yes. Actually, many people were associated with that film. It represented the entire hip-hop culture. But the main character was inspired by me. ‘Aafat’ song, my first song that went viral, they found me through that song.)”
Gully Boy starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt released on February 14.
Naezy, speaking about how the film negatively impacted his personal life because the film showed Ranveer with two women, shared, “To usse mere ko ekdum subtle way mein fayda hua aur bahut nuksaan bhi hua. Mere personal life pe ki mere do-do girlfriends dikha di gayi hai. Mujhe gareeb bataya gaya hai, jitna gareeb main tha nahi. Mujhe driver bataya gaya hai kyunki main vo hu nahi. Lekin jo Indian audience ka dimag hai na, sabko aisa lagra ki yahi Naezy bhai hai. To ussey meri personal life pe thoda farak pada. (So, it benefitted me subtly but also caused a lot of harm. In my personal life, they showed I had two girlfriends. They portrayed me as poor, which I wasn’t to that extent. They showed me as a driver, which I am not. But in the Indian audience’s mind, everyone thinks this is who Naezy is. So, it affected my personal life a bit.)”
Bigg Boss OTT 3 is currently streaming on Jio Cinema.
