The king’s wife, played by Bimbo Ademoye, removed her clothing before having intercourse with Saro, played by Kunle Remi, in one of the love scenes.
The queen’s breasts and Kunle’s butt caused a shock reaction among the celebrities’ fans, which sparked discussion regarding the actors’ nudity.
Speaking on their onscreen chemistry, in a recent Instagram live session, Kunle Remi said: “No doubt I and Bimbo always have chemistry on screen, I love her, lover her to bits, that’s my guy. That was the most vulnerable moments for this characters, that was the first time we see her say ‘take me, this is me’ even though she has been married.”
Addressing the love scene, Kunle defended the act, saying that the scene was necessary to the plot and their characters’ development.
“A lot of people say the nude scene was not necessary, but I’m gonna say this; as an engineer, I can’t tell you how to engineer, as an accountant I can’t tell you how to do your accounting. As a chef, I cant teach you how to cook so as an actor you can’t tell me how far or what I should do in my job. That scene for us symbolised the moment when we were so vulnerable. Anyways Nigerians are hypocrites. But that was the most vulnerable moment for these characters and that was the first time they genuinely made love”.
Set in the 17th-century Oyo Empire, the movie also stars actors like Sola Sobowale, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Taiwo Hassan, Faithia Williams, Aisha Lawal, Ronke Oshodi-Oke, Dele Odule, Yinka Quadri and Adebayo Salami.
