A new British independent feature – Amar Akbar & Tony by director Atul Malhotra, will be screening at the Mumbai Film Festival this October. The bitter-sweet romantic comedy has been listed in the Film India Worldwide category, and will be showing on 18th and 19th October, marking its first foray on the festival circuit.
Amusing, ironic and stark in turn, Malhotra’s Amar, Akbar & Tony, explores the rigid social taboos that can affect and distort the young and the families they interact with. It does so through the eyes of three childhood friends looking for love in multicultural London. Interracial romance, violence, sexuality, family, love and loss are themes that are explored and shared by the three main protagonists – Amar, Akbar and Tony, over a ten-year period – as the trio deal with the absurdities and unpredictability of life.

British Asian film Amar, Akbar & Tony has started filming in London.
Inspired by the title of 1970s Bollywood classic Amar, Akbar and Anthony, the project stars Waterloo Road actress Karen David as Meera, alongside Rez Kempton, Sam Vincenti and Martin Delaney.
"I found the script so endearing and really appreciated the fresh depiction of South Asians," said David.
"Meera's character is so different from anything I've played, and it will be a wonderful challenge to play her. There are a lot of complex layers in her character. She is mysterious at first, and a lot is going on behind those eyes that you don't find out until later on in the story.
"The characters, and the storylines, are definitely going to get people talking."
The project is currently shooting in locations across London including Southall and Turnham Green.
