Davido would be working with directives from popular director, Teco Benson.
According to insiders, Davido’s role in the movie is expected to further strengthen its popularity.
Speaking on this, his cousin Ikechukwu said Davido who is delighted over the project can’t wait for it to begin and that he is taking it seriously like any other business as his image is at stake.
“This is Davido’s first movie appearance, I, as the producer, have been able to work out things in such a manner that it would be beneficial to us all. I’ve crafted out a role that I know would put him in a comfortable position and won’t make him either excessive or otherwise.
“I know how big Davido is and I don’t want to put a lot of pressure on him because of his busy schedule and it is his first appearance. Furthermore, the script is in such a way that he doesn’t over shadow the beauty of the script but to add his weight to the success of the project,” he said.
