Gully Boy might have released earlier this year, but it is still the best Bollywood film made on the underground rap world made till that. One character that was integral to the storyline was that of Moeen, played flawlessly by actor Vijay Varma. Though it was described as a supporting role, the way the versatile actor translated the role on screen, made him one of the strengths of the film.

Talking about how he got on board for this Zoya Akhtar directorial, Vijay says, "I had gone for reading the script and I opened the script. I knew I was playing a supporting part but the script started with 'Moeen Walks, Moeen says this, Moeen does that' and on the first page, I was sold. It's so beautifully written."
