The streaming service Disney+ Hotstar announced yesterday the release of its new original film ‘World’s Best’ on its platform on June 23.
Utkarsh Ambudkar, the Indian-American actor known for films and television shows such as ‘Free Guy’, ‘The Mindy Project’, and ‘Never Have I Ever’, has co-written and co-executive produced the film directed by Roshan Sethi.
According to PTI, the actor appears in the film alongside Manny Magnus, Punam Patel, Jake Choi, Max Malas, Piper Wallace, Kayla Njeri, Dorian Giordano, Kathryn Greenwood, Christopher Jackson, and Doug E. Fresh.
‘World’s Best’ follows Prem Patel (Magnus), a 12-year-old mathematics genius, as he navigates the tumultuous hardships of adolescence.
He discovers that his recently deceased father was a famous rapper and decides to pursue a career as a rap superstar.
“While his actions may appear reckless and the quickest way for him to lose everything, Prem is determined to find out if hip-hop truly is in his DNA, fueled by imaginative hip-hop music-fueled fantasies in which he performs with his father (Ambudkar). As his father used to say, ‘the world’s best never rests’, ” according to the official plotline.
In collaboration with Jamie King, Ambudkar wrote the film’s story. The actor also collaborated with Charlie Wilder to write original songs for the film.
