Nigerian actor and filmmaker, Femi Adebayo, in an emotional disclosure revealed that he sold some of his valuable properties to finance the production of his latest movie, “JAGUNJAGUN.”
“JAGUNJAGUN” has been making waves since its release, quickly gaining popularity both within and outside Nigeria.
The film’s compelling storyline, stellar performances, and production quality have garnered praise from audiences and critics alike.
In a heartfelt statement, Femi Adebayo opened up about the challenges he faced while producing the movie.
He expressed his unwavering commitment to delivering a top-notch production and his determination to bring his creative vision to life.
In his words, “Jagun Jagun is a multi-billion naira project and I can’t say the exact amount I spent on it on shooting
I financed “Jagun Jagun” using the earnings from “Agbeshinkole.” I aimed to avoid seeking funding from financial institutions and individuals. At one point, I faced financial challenges, but I believed in the project’s potential and ended up selling my properties.
“My worst nightmare is that I have to be at Jagun Jagun with my next production”.
Femi also spoke on how he built the warrior school from scratch.
“We started the warrior school from the ground up. The land posed a challenge as we initially intended to buy it. We reached an agreement and made the payment, but the landowner’s children altered their decision. By the time we had constructed half of the school, the owner’s children, who had come from Lagos, insisted we halt construction. They were prepared to dismantle our progress, causing a delay of almost a week. We had to involve the police and local leaders, appealing to them. Eventually, we were advised to only film on the property rather than purchasing it.”
The actor’s revelation has sparked discussions within the entertainment industry, with many praising his determination and selflessness.
