Award-winning producer and music mogul Rishi Rich is teaming up with brand new British independent film, Amar, Akbar & Tony to create the movie’s score.

Rich is a highly respected name in the music scene and has made waves in the industry both in the UK and the US. Perhaps best known for his work with Jay Sean and The Rishi Rich Project, he has also worked with international artists such as Mary J Blige, Britney Spears and Estelle.

Rich’s proficiency in music production is what led director Atul Malhotra to approach him for the film’s score. For Rich, the collaboration is incredibly timely. Following his global success in the music industry, Rich made the conscious decision to combine his passion for music with his love of film and turn his talents to scoring.

Rishi Rich is the latest star to attach his name to the film as Amar, Akbar & Tony boasts an all-star cast line-up, with Rez Kempton, Martin Delaney and Sam Vincenti taking the leads. The comedy drama, which also stars Lemon la Vida Loca’s Laura Aikman and former Waterloo Rd star Karen David, is filmed in and around West London, and features a highly original plotline with a gritty twist. The film celebrates the multi-cultural landscape of Britain, making Rich - with his extensive experience in the UK’s music scene - a perfect fit for the role of film scorer.

Speaking about Rich’s involvement in the film, Malhotra says: “I feel deeply honoured to have Rishi become a part of the Amar, Akbar & Tony family. He is an incredible producer and definitely perfect for the film. He knows his music and most importantly, understands youth culture in the UK. I can’t wait to start working with him.”

Amar, Akbar & Tony wrapped up filming this June and is getting ready for release in 2014.

Rich commented on his role: “I have wanted to explore film scoring for a while and although I have experimented in other projects, I am particularly excited to work on Amar, Akbar & Tony. The film reflects London culture, a subject I’m particularly fond of so I think this will be a great partnership.”
