World’s Best—premieres Friday, June 23, on Disney+
This all-new hip-hop musical comedy adventure follows 12-year-old mathematics genius Prem Patel (Manny Magnus) as he navigates the tumultuous hardships of adolescence… and if that weren’t enough, he discovers his recently deceased father (Utkarsh Ambudkar) was a famous rapper, and immediately sets out to pursue a career for himself as a rap superstar. His actions may appear reckless, and the quickest way for him to lose everything—but Prem, empowered by imaginative hip-hop music-fueled fantasies where he performs with his father, is determined to find out if hip-hop truly is in his DNA. As his father always used to say, “The world’s best never rest!” Ambudkar—known for (among many other things) his work with the hip-hop improv comedy group Freestyle Love Supreme—co-wrote and co-executive produces the film, and also co-wrote the film’s original songs.
