Bollywood debutant actor Siddhant Chaturvedi, who plays MC Sher in the hit Gully Boy, has spoken about how he was discovered by director Zoya Akhtar. Zoya then asked him if he’d audition for Gully Boy, and when Siddhant said he hadn’t, she suggested that he should - in fact, she called him for an audition the very next day. That’s when he realised that he could relate to a lot of themes that Divine and Naezy were rapping about. That’s when Zoya told him that she’d loved his audition and was going to send over the script of Gully Boy to him, and if he liked it, they would love to have him on board.
