Rave of the moment, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido ( The Aye Crooner), his cousin, Ikechukwu Ojeogwu Francis and other top Nollywood stars are warming up to hit a movie location soon for the shoot of an action-packed movie entitled, ‘John Zerebe’.
The Movie has been billed to be directed by Nollywood Action Director, Teco Benson.
Ikechukwu, a graduate of Banking and Finance from Babcock University hinted that the flick will be shot in Lagos and Osun State, starting from next month. He said he has always wanted to be a movie producer and star, and this he beleive will enable him achieve his desires: “I have always wanted to be involved in Nollywood.
As you know, entertainment runs in our family. I choose to go into movie production instead of going into music like my cousin, Davido. My mother is from Osun State, while my father is a Deltan. Although, I have featured in a TV programme called, ‘Bella’s Place,’ I am fully going into Nollywood with this movie. I know it will go places.”
Ikechukwu added that the movie filled with suspense, intrigues, twists and drama is the story of a smart boy who from childhood was bent on living big. He got involved in all sorts of illicit activities from secondary school which culminated to an unexpected end.
The budding actor who has the likes of Mel Gibson, Will Smith, Omotola Ekeinde and Genevieve as role models also put the total budget of the movie at N10 million.
“This is Davido’s first movie appearance, I, as the producer, have been able to work out things in such a manner that it would be beneficial to us all. I’ve crafted out a role that I know would put him in a comfortable position and won’t make him either excessive or otherwise,”He added that, “Davido is quite delighted and very supportive on this project like he has always been and he’s so big that if he puts his hand in anything that doesn’t worth it, it would tarnish his image and what he has built for himself. He has a lot at stake, aside from the financial stake, his image is also at stake and he’s taking this as serious as any other business.
Watch out for Ikechukwu’s Interview here soon.
