The Bad Neighbours star will be joined by co-star Emily Ratajkowski and director Max Joseph for tonight's European screening at the Ritzy Picturehouse at Brixton Oval.

The movie, which marks Joseph's feature-length directorial debut following his work on Catfish: The TV Show, also stars Wes Bentley and Shiloh Fernandez.

Former High School Musical actor Efron plays an aspiring DJ, with Ratajkowski as his love interest.

We Are Your Friends, also co-written by Joseph, opens in UK cinemas on August 27.
