The movie is an English-language coming-of-age teen drama and will be available to only the US audiences on the Disney channel from August 13.

Abhay says that Spin is a departure from his own status quo. While sharing snippets from the movie, Abhay wrote. “I am aware that my audience loves me for making edgy, alternative narratives that challenge the status quo. Which is why this film is all the more special as it is a departure from my own status quo, and catering to a much younger audience.”

Spin is about Rhea (Avantika), an Indian American teen, who discovers her passion for creating DJ mixes that blend the rich textures of her South-Asian culture and the world around her. Her life revolves around her group of friends, Molly, Watson and Ginger, her after-school coding club, her family’s Indian restaurant, and her tight-knit, multi-generational family. Everything changes when she falls for aspiring DJ Max that reignites her passion for music.
