Following his successful stint on Bigg Boss OTT, Naezy was spotted on the streets of Mumbai, where he interacted with fans and the media.

Naezy also discussed how he manages the stress of his busy schedule, emphasizing his focus and hard work. He said, “I don’t take much stress with work. I work hard and am always focused on what I’m doing. So if any producers or directors want to make a film, they can contact me.” The rapper was also asked about his recent visit to the T-Series office with Sana Makbul and whether there were any projects in the pipeline. Naezy hinted at exciting developments, saying, “Kuch dhamaka, tayar raho public (Something big, stay ready, public).”
Naezy's journey from the slums of Mumbai to becoming a prominent rapper mirrors the narrative of "Gully Boy." Despite the film's success, Naezy has previously mentioned that "Gully Boy" did not entirely capture his true story, with many parts being scripted for cinematic effect. Released in 2019, "Gully Boy" depicted the struggles and triumphs of Mumbai's underground rap scene, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. The film was directed by Zoya Akhtar and produced by Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, and Ritesh Sidhwani under the banners of Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby Films.
Naezy's ongoing popularity and his candid reflections on his journey continue to resonate with fans, making him a significant figure in the Indian rap scene and a potential subject for future cinematic ventures.
