Zoya Akhtar's next directorial venture, Gully Boy, will mark the outing of a new on-screen jodi.

Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt have been finalized to play the leads in the film, which is being co-produced by Zoya's recently-launched banner Tiger Baby and Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment. The shoot of the movie, we hear, will commence this November. With it being Ranveer - Alia's first big-screen outing together, the project has already started generating buzz. The title further piques our interest.

Ranveer seems to be extremely excited about getting to work with Alia and the actor created a funny video where he is seen talking in a South Indian accent and singing praises of Alia.
