Just how the movie depicts – The rise of a DIY Rap Culture, which welcomes everybody without discrimination, \u2018Gully Beat\u2019 application was also conceptualized to help the nation\u2019s aspiring rappers create their rap tracks inside the application and share them on their social media.<\/p>\n
They contacted Appinventiv seeking end-to-end help with design, development, QA, and deployment, with the condition that the application should be made live within 2 months – to coincide with the time of the movie release in theatres.<\/p>\n
