A look at Gully Boy shooting locations

According to filmapia, the movie was completely shot in Mumbai, as the characters in it were inspired by people who were born and brought up in the city. The lead characters Murad, his girlfriend Safeena as well as his inspiration MC Sher, were all from the slums of the city and thus most of the shooting was done at the Dharavi slum area. Apart from this, there were scenes and songs in the movie which were shot at Dhobi Ghat, the foot over bridge at Dharavi and Kurla Station.

Another scene where Safeena hits a girl with the beer bottle has been shot at a Parsi café in the city named Café 12, the scene where Murad and his friends steal a car has been shot at the Kala Ghoda area.
