, co-written and directed by Zoya Akhtar, is an exploration of the street hip-hop culture in Mumbai.
The impetus for this film came when Akhtar was first introduced to a music video by local conscious rapper Naezy. “Till then hip hop in India had been very derivative and very commercial… it’s not something I engaged with. I just kept going back and watching this video.”“I just wanted to meet him because I felt there’s a story here because this voice, you know, the 20-year olds, they are completely disenfranchised and they do not have any representation in the mainstream. The beauty about the internet is that they have access to and all their inspiration is American rappers.
While the film centers on Murad and his journey, Akhtar felt it important to give substance to the storyline of Safeena, who has big ambitions of her own.
