WASHINGTON - Ashok Amritraj is joining hands with songwriter-producer Dave Stewart to make film “Street Dancing.”

The movie, set in the world of a cutting-edge dance competition in Singapore and New York, will be the first to come out of Amritraj’s 75-million-dollar fund with Abu Dhabi-based Imagenation and Singapore’s MDA, reports Variety.

Amritraj will produce through Hyde Park Entertainment.

Imagenation Abu Dhabi chief executive Ed Borgerding and Hyde Park’s Patrick Aiello will exec produce with Stewart and Prem Akkaraju.

Directed by Bille Woodruff, the film’s script will be penned by David B. Harris.

Stewart will create the music with A.R. Rahman, Oscar-winning composer for “Slumdog Millionaire.”

Amritraj said: “This fresh and exciting pop cross-cultural project is an organic match for continuing our partnerships between Hollywood, the Middle East and Asia and gives us the ability to explore the exciting new distribution format of mobile technology.”

Imagenation’s Borgerding called the project “the ideal property to commence our partnership with Hyde Park and the MDA. It’s very reflective of our partners, their culture and embodies our overall vision of creating global cinema for mass audiences.” (ANI)
