this one Is strong!!

Hmmm. I'll see it. Hope they don't do some Africa magic bullcrap in it.

Kunle Afolayan is a force to reckon with in the Nigerian movie industry,his movies "the figurine" and "phone swap" can testify to that. they kept me glued to my seat from beginning to end. I've seen the trailer of this movie and it seems very interesting. I cant wait to see this movie

How I wish other producers can seat down and think upstairs before rolling into film making. This guy has being unique and special in all the films he made. Stating from "Figurine" and so on""""""""""" no dough or misconception in his role making. God has already bless your hustle bro!!!! Keep it up.
Mind u, 2day na twenty-three ooooooo

Ok

It cost over N200 million ($1.2 million) to produce the movie?! I hope it better be good.

nice

Don't see how this is frontpage material

Been waiting for phone swap since 1500bc. F**k off bro

Good one Mr Afolayan...Your movies are always second to none in the industry!

I Read the synopsis. I wonder why they have to bloat the cost of production to 200million as if that's what will make the movie interesting.
Abi na Jack Baur of 24 or Sean Connery 007 dem bring to play the Police Officer from North. Even if the pay all the lead characters that featured in this movie 1m each I still can't see how the movie go absorb 200million.

There are lots of low budget movies that remain very captivating and scintillating.
I don't see a Nigerian film producer (Marketer/investor) sinking 200million in any movie to end up selling the movie 150naira per CD even if the sponsor na Dangote, the producer go just pocket the money come enter church for "Testimony Time"

Ok.

This guy is a force to be reckoned with. Have never intentionally watch a nigerian film but for me to seat and watch phone swap and figurine on more than two occasions says a lot. Other nollywood guys should seat and be innovative with their storytelling and filming beyond this; Olujacob being the king and van vivker being the son who eventually fell in love with Ini edo which in turns caused the king fury. Spits on film and walk away.

see mark

oooh can't wait to cop dis movie.

Film production budget goes beyond just paying actors. Locations, equipment and other important matters gulp majority of the money.

It is only in Nigeria u see a movie completed within a year, no wonder we don't enjoy them as much as we do Nollywood movies...picture looks interesting though.

boombay: this one Is strong!!

Eleyi gidigan!!

Truly Ade Love's blood. Ade Love has done it! Baba Sala has done it! Mainframe is doing it, Kunle Afolayan is doing... Keep doing it Kunle Afolayan. *Transformation Agenda of Nigeria Voice*

Most of his films are of good production quality but the story line is always crap..The other one he released,"Figurine" was so hyped that one couldn't finish watching it because it was just very uninteresting..
Hope this turns out better

This guy is going places.
