Femi Adebayo, a well-known actor, has had a successful year. His film, ‘Agheshinkole,’ has done exceptionally well in theaters, grossing over N200 million. Moviegoers have also praised the actor and filmmaker for his efforts in making the picture a memorable one.
Femi expressed his delight at the excellent reviews and honors the film had received over a private dinner gathering attended by Adebayo’s father (Oga Bello), coworkers, and the bosses of some of the country’s cinemas.
In an interview with Merrymakers, Adebayo stated that he did not think the movie would ‘blow up’ the way it did. He said, “I did not anticipate that it would this huge. However, right from the onset, I was very particular about getting it right. I thought the Yoruba culture was going into extinction, so I wanted to do a project that would bring it back to life. I also wanted to do it in a way that it would be appreciated worldwide.”
