Speaking about her action sequences and why she did her own fight on the show, Ini Edo said:
INI EDO: It took me 3 weeks of intensive training of mixed martial arts with Sensei Pierce who also played the role of Top Gun in the number one trending series on Netflix Shanty town , to get into the character of Inem. The physical challenge was one of the major reasons I jumped on that role…As an Actor, I had been craving for a character that would challenge me both physically and artistically , stepping away from my comfort zone made me feel alive artistically ! Am fulfilled by your reviews and humbled .
