Gully Boy will have to undergo some major cuts, two days ahead of its film release.

This last-hour changes will surely stir furious reactions from the fans, who have been rooting for the film. While everyone was eagerly anticipating to witness two of the most promising actors from the Bollywood fraternity come together, this step has left the fans completely disheartened.
