History[edit]
From the school days to Khalsa College, Amritsar Amrinder Gill and Karaj Gill were in same Bhangra team.[10] And Amrinder in his first recording for program Kala Doria on Doordarshan decided to give singing credits to their group instead of their names and the group was named as Rhythm Boyz.[11][3] In an interview Gill revealed the reason to found company, said, “We make films with such passion but they fail to reach the audience because of poor marketing and distribution. So we decided why not turn producers and have the freedom to produce and market our own films.”[3]
On 19 March 2013, the company was registered at British Columbia, Canada. In 2014, Judaa 2 album sung by Amrinder Gill was released by Rhythm Boyz.[12] Later in 2015, Rhythm Boyz released their first film Angrej in association with Dara Productions and J Studios. The film was based on love in Punjab of 1940s. The film grossed ₹30 crore in its theatrical run and became one of the highest-grossing film of all time. The film ran over fifty days in India and overseas.[13] The film settled the trend following couple of period films releasing every year. The film won ten awards at PTC Punjabi Film Awards including Best Film, Best Director (Simerjit Singh), Best Actor (Gill), and Best Actress (Sargun Mehta).[14]
