Opening up on the movie in an interview with the press, the box office King revealed that he sold his properties to fund the movie, which is a multi-billion project, because he didn’t want to seek help from financial institutions and individuals. Elsewhere in the interview, he revealed his worst nightmare and its inspiration.
A few weeks back, Femi Adebayo had expressed excitement after receiving his first award for Jagun Jagun.
The movie star recounted how he got a call from Woli Arole, informing him about a dinner in honour of his movie, which he contemplated declining. Unaware of what they had planned for him, Femi was blown away by the award presentation and the emotional speech from Faithia Williams and Bimbo Ademoye.
