According to a statement made by Moses Babatope of FilmOne distribution, this a right step in the direction of a rewarding future for Nollywood. He said:

 

 

 

“AY and Omoni are two very talented/ground breaking Actors and Producers who we have had been very fortunate to work with on varied projects; it was only a natural fit for this especially with 2 actors which such strong family values and family is very important to us at FilmOne. Their inclusion as part of the cast for this movie portends great things for future collaboration between Nollywood and Hollywood.”
