Popular Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Femi Adebayo Salami has talked about the extra miles he went to make Jagun Jagun, his newest movie, happen.
In a recent interview with the press, Adebayo revealed that he sold his properties to fund the movie because he didn’t want to approach financial institutions and individuals for help.
He revealed that Jagun Jagun is a multi-billion naira project and he can’t disclose the exact amount he spent on funding the project.
He said: “Jagun Jagun is a multi-billion naira project and I can’t say the exact amount I spent on it on shooting
“I used the proceeds of Agbeshinkole to produce Jagun Jagun. I was working on not getting funded by finance houses and individuals. At a point, I was out of finance and because I had faith that the project would work, I sold my properties”.
While talking further during the interview, he revealed that his worst nightmare is how to beat Jagun Jagun in his next project.
According to him, when he did King of Thieves, he knew his next project would beat it but now he doesn’t have such confidence.
He said: “My worst nightmare is that I have to be at Jagun Jagun with my next production”.
Also, he spoke about how he built the warrior school from scratch.
He said: “We built from scratch the warrior school. We were forced with the challenge of purchasing that land, we wanted to own the land. And at a point, we had an agreement and paid for it, but the children of the owner of the land changed their minds about the land sale. We have built the school halfway when the children who came from Lagos told us to stop. They were ready to destroy all that we built and that held us up for almost a week, going to the Police station and Obas appealing to them and we were told to only shoot there and not buy it.
He spoke about his inspiration and said: “What inspired the story of Jagun Jagun is the youth and environment of Nigeria.
“I wanted to pass across a social message to the youths and wanted to do it culturally”.
