Filmmaker, Toyin Abraham, has opened on her reasons for featuring veteran nollywood star, Emeka Ike in her recent movie, after 13 years break from the industry.
In her words:
“I’ve been talking to uncle Emeka since last year, I know he has been off for a long time, everything we heard; then obviously I was not as big as this so I sent him a message.
My manager Otunba Seun got his number for me and I said come back and he said ‘what if’…everything that happened,’ I said don’t worry even if you did it you have suffered enough, 13 years, its okay, its fine.
Why I brought Emeka Ike back for Malaika after 13 years; I don’t mind taking risks it doesn’t matter because I see you in this role because I feel everybody deserves a second chance. It’s okay.”
