Classic Nickelodeon UK And "Renford Rejects" Star Martin Delaney To Star In Upcoming British Movie "Amar, Akbar and Tony"

The official Anglotopia website, anglotopia.net, is reporting the exciting news that former Nickelodeon UK Star Martin Delaney, who portrayed footballer Jason Summerbee in the BAFTA nominated classic Nickelodeon UK comedy drama series "Renford Rejects", will be co-starring in the upcoming British comedy movie "Amar, Akbar and Tony"!

Set in present-day London, "Amar, Akbar and Tony" follows the lives of three childhood friends Amar (Rez Kempton), Akbar (Sam Vincenti) and Tony (Martin Delaney), as they stumble through life from their carefree twenties into adulthood. The film tracks the friends over a decade and follows their every move. The characters face sudden and unforeseen changes to their idealistic and trouble-free young lives. With hilarious and sometimes tragic consequences, the brotherly bond shared by the trio is called into question and we witness the highs and lows as they attempt to come to terms with their adult lives. "Amar, Akbar and Tony" is directed by Atul Malhotra and produced Sash Media Productions & AAT Films.

Martin stars in the film as Tony the Irish 'honorary Asian' who is obsessed with Asian women, but isn't always lucky in love. Will he succeed in getting the girl of his dreams? All will be revealed when the film is released later this year!

Anglotopia will also be interviewing the Nickelodeon UK actor soon!:
