Snippet:
How has this year been for you entertainment wise?
I will say it has been good and I give God all the glory
though, it has not been smooth all through. I must confess that I have
encountered one or two ups and downs but God has been faithful.
What project are you working on presently?
Presently, I am working on bringing my movie to the
cinemas. It is entitled Victims. It was directed by Lancelot Imasuen. It
features stars actors like Olu Jacobs, Fathia Balogun, Seun Akindele, Ju liet
Ibrahim, Saheed Balogun, and Funsho Adeolu.
Why the choice of Lancelot for directing?
I had an opportunity of working on a project with Lancelot
and I spoke with him. I asked him if he would like to do a Yoruba movie and he
accepted. Victims is an ultra modern Yoruba film; it is a double scripted movie
and the outcome is wow! You know, Juliet has never featured in a Yoruba movie
but the way the script was written, she didn't have to speak too much Yoruba
and besides, she is a fast learner. It was a good experience for her and for
Lancelot who is only used to directing 100 per cent English movies; it was also
an opportunity for him to showcase his competence. experience for her and for
Lancelot
When should we expect the Part 2 of Osas Omoge Benin?
Why is everybody asking about it now. I read comments on my
Instagram and twitter accounts and they are all asking for the same thing.
Anyway, everybody should just keep their fingers crossed even though it is
taking like forever. What I do know for certain is that at the end of the day,
my fans should expect the best from me. I actually don’t want to mention a
specific date yet. What my fans should expect from me for now is Victims; it is
going to be premiered in the U.K and the U.S and it will also be going to the
cinemas.
