Actor Ranveer Singh is all praise for his Gully Boy co-star Alia Bhatt. On working with Alia in the upcoming film, Ranveer told IANS in an e-mail interview from Mumbai: "Before working on Gully Boy, I did some ads with Alia and they were really fun. She has lovely energy about her. But when I worked with her on Gully Boy, I realised what a powerhouse of a talent she is."

Ranveer, who has delivered blockbusters like Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, said Alia is "immensely talented, expressive, full of emotion, very intelligent" and that her emotional quotient is "very high". "She has evolved as a person far beyond her years. She is on her way to greatness. She was really brilliant in Raazi. I have been an admirer of her work and craft ever since Highway," added the actor, who plays a street rapper in the film.
