“This film is not just about a personal battle within a marriage,” says producer Mobolaji Samuel. “It’s a mirror reflecting the broader societal conversations we need to have about gender equality and understanding divergent viewpoints.”

 

When asked what the viewers should expect from “Ibitayo”, Mobolaji Samuel said, “Ibitayo is a timely and relevant exploration of gender dynamics, the film delves into a crucial social issue, offering a fresh perspective on contemporary marital struggles and sparking important conversations.”

 

“Expect powerful performances by a renowned cast such as Bukumi Oluwashina, Ibrahim Chatter, and a stellar supporting cast bring the characters to life with raw emotion and authenticity” she added.
