Obi Emelonye directed the award-winning Mirror Boy and 2012’s Last Flight to Abuja. Most recently, his biopic of IBB, Badamasi: Portrait of a General, started streaming on Amazon Prime Video. In a statement, the veteran filmmaker shared that he had always hoped to bring more comic characters to life following his comedy film Onye Ozi. “After a few years of biopics, dramas and the likes, I thought it was time to work on an action-packed comedy with memorable characters.”
Serving as an executive producer on the project is Odinaka Emmanuel Offia in a collaboration between The Blue Pictures Entertainment, Codeo Limited and The Nollywood Factory. Radisson Blu Anchorage proudly partners the film.
