Popular Nigerian singer, Simisola Ogunleye, popularly known as Simi, is set to feature in a Nollywood movie by ace producer and actor, Kunle Afolayan.
It was gathered the agreement was concluded in the filmmakerβs office in Lagos.
The movie, titled βmokalikβ is screen-played by Tunde Babalola, inspiration for the story, according to the filmmaker came during his constant visit to the mechanic workshop where he refurbished his much publicised Vintage car (Thunderbird Ford 1965) recently, while the film title, a Yoruba corrupt pronunciation of mechanic is from a scene in one of his late father (Ade Love)βs classic, βTaxi Driverβ. βVisiting the mechanic workshop after about 15 years opened my eyes to a lot of things that I believe the world should know about our local auto car repairs industry,β he said.See what was shared below:
