'I Started Shivering': Amruta Subhash Recalls Terrifying Scene With Ranveer Singh
Last Updated:
Amruta Subhash opens up about a scary Gully Boy shoot with Ranveer Singh in Dharavi, revealing she was terrified by the wild crowd chasing their vehicle.
Amruta Subhash, known for her powerful role in Gully Boy, recently opened up about what she calls 'one of the scariest days" of her life—while shooting a scene with Ranveer Singh in Mumbai's Dharavi.
In a candid interview with Bollywood Bubble, the National Award-winning actor described filming a sequence where she and Ranveer were seated in the back of a tempo, driving through the densely populated neighborhood. Though the scene appears simple on screen, the shoot was anything but.
'As soon as our tempo entered the center of Dharavi, people started pouring out of buildings and running behind us," Amruta recalled. 'It wasn't a fast vehicle, and I started shivering. The energy of the crowd was wild—not just excitement, but something chaotic and unpredictable."
The scene marked the first time Amruta and Ranveer shot outside of a controlled set environment, and the tension was palpable.
With Padmaavat having just released at the time, Ranveer Singh was at the peak of his stardom. Amruta revealed that the crowd was not just reacting to the film shoot but to Ranveer's celebrity presence, which added to the frenzy.
'Ranveer saw I was scared. He held my hand and asked, 'Amruta, are you okay?' He told me not to worry and reminded me that his bouncers were around. He was very comforting."
She emphasized that large crowds can carry a 'wild energy"—not always positive and often unpredictable. 'Mob ki energy wild hoti hai… usme ek veheshiyat bhi hoti hai (There's a certain savagery to mob energy)," she said.
Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Gully Boy (2019) starred Ranveer Singh as Murad, an aspiring rapper from Dharavi, alongside Alia Bhatt, Kalki Koechlin, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Vijay Raaz. The film was inspired by real-life Mumbai rappers DIVINE and Naezy, and co-produced by Tiger Baby Films and Excel Entertainment, with American rapper Nas serving as executive producer.

Reimagining Carnatic presentation
Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival (CTF) has become the most sought after event even for the established Carnatic musicians outside of India. The festival has been tirelessly engaging the Indian community across the American continent for an annual coming together that celebrates Carnatic as a tradition. This year, visiting the Cleveland festival for the eighth consecutive year is a Chennai-based music institution, Sishyakulam that has reimagined Carnatic tradition's presentation format. Its managing director, the young and vibrant Shankar Santhanagopalan, tells me more about the new format. But first, here are a few broad strokes that will paint the cultural scene of the Indian diaspora in North America. As much as the community is tuned to pop culture and contemporary forms, they prioritise classical artforms over others for their richness and depth. The feasibility and availability for this goes to the pioneering efforts of a few good Samaritans, who sowed the cultural seeds as early as the 1970s. Today many centres of performing arts have mushroomed in various parts. The Indian diaspora's socio-cultural engagements here not only exemplifies how they are dedicated in strengthening their cultural roots, but also demonstrates how traditions are inclusive. Through that lens, they add to India's unity and diversity in a far more pronounced manner. What was missing in this scenario was a place where parents and students could meet, interact with peers from other regions more often without always having to wait for their India trip. This need was met when Sishyakulam proposed the EPIC Choir. 'When we studied the Indian classical music landscape in the United States, we observed that the Carnatic music community was widespread but fragmented. EPIC Choir was conceived to be a platform to bring students from across the country together to be part of something larger than their regional exposure to the artform,' Shankar shared. 'The choral ensemble format enabled us to introduce young learners to contemporary compositions rooted in Carnatic idioms. Since its debut at the CTF in 2015, it has delivered nearly 50 original compositions — each crafted to balance artistic depth with accessibility,' he further explained.
