'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.

Amruta Subhash opens up about terrifying mob attack on 'Gully Boy' set, credits Ranveer Singh for comforting her: 'I was shivering'
Amruta Subhash recalled being terrified during a wild mob attack while filming 'Gully Boy' in Dharavi. She shivered with fear as the crowd chased their tempo, but Ranveer Singh comforted her by holding her hand and reassuring her that his bouncers were nearby, helping her stay calm amid the chaos. Amruta Subhash , a talented actress known for her work across Marathi and Hindi cinema, television, and theatre, is a graduate of the National School of Drama in New Delhi. In a recent interview, she shared how Ranveer Singh comforted her during a chaotic mob scene while filming 'Gully Boy', helping her stay calm amid the fever. Intense Scene Filmed in Dharavi While talking to Bollywood Bubble and showing a picture with Ranveer from 'Gully Boy', Amruta shared that the photo was taken during a particularly intense scene where they were leaving the house. She described that day as one of the scariest of her life. The tempo used in the scene was set up right inside Dharavi by director Zoya Akhtar , with the set blending so seamlessly into the real location that it was hard to distinguish where Dharavi ended and the set began. The tempo itself looked genuinely old and worn out to reflect their poor characters. Ranveer and Amruta were surrounded by bouncers and extras who appeared to belong naturally in the environment, adding to the realism of the scene. First Experience Outside the Set The actress shared that, for the first time, she had an intense experience stepping outside with Ranveer beyond the usual confines of the vanity van or set during shooting. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologista recomenda: simples truque elimina o fungo facilmente Acabe com o Fungo Undo While the tempo had moved slightly into the heart of Dharavi, people suddenly began pouring out from the surrounding buildings, running loudly and chasing after the vehicle. Although the tempo wasn't moving fast, the sight of the mob running behind it caused her genuine fear, making her shiver uncontrollably. Ranveer Singh's Comfort Amid Fear The actress said, 'Especially because I mean, it's Ranveer from 'Padmaavat' sitting there, he's a superstar! And the people had started running… it was so scary. I wasn't okay. I was shivering. Ranveer just held my hand. He obviously understood, and he said, 'Amruta, you okay?' I was like, 'No…' So he said, 'My bouncers are around. Don't worry, nothing will happen.' He was pacifying me. And I was still shivering, because the energy of that mob is wild. It's not always happy energy, you know? It's very scary. There's a kind of desperation in it.' Real Fear Behind the Scene She concluded by explaining that if the situation had spiraled out of control, the sheer size of the crowd could have been overwhelming. To cope, she began taking deep breaths while Ranveer continuously reassured her that everything would be fine and there was nothing to worry about, as he was accustomed to such situations. She emphasized that the tension visible on her face in the scene was not her character Raziya's, but her own real fear as Amruta.
