Actor and filmmaker Femi Adebayo has stated that he sold some of his property to fund the trending movie Jagun Jagun and does not regret his decision.
The 44-year-old revealed this on Wednesday during an interview following a visit by City People publisher Seye Kehinde.
“It was extremely challenging on Jagun Jagun set and at a point, I was out of finance. I believed so much this project would work so I went out, sold my properties and I believed it will sell and it actually did so I didn’t regret selling my property to finish Jagun Jagun,” Femi said.
The movie tells the story of ancient warriors, kings and a cruel warlord who feels threatened by a determined young warrior seeking only power and the love of a strong woman.

He said, “I was confident that I would beat King of Thieves but now I have to beat Jagun Jagun and that’s more of a nightmare I’ve been having since the release of Jagun Jagun but I believe in God because I only get better.”
