Actor Kunle Remi has said that Kunle Afolayan’s Anikulapo is currently most challenging movie he has ever done.
The 33-year-old said this in a recent Instagram live session where he also talked about the challenges he faced while filming and onscreen chemistry with his co-lead Bimbo Ademoye.
“This is definitely the most challenging movie I’ve ever done yet because I know there will be others but for now this is the one.
Speaking on the challenges, Kunle said: “First I had to speak a language I wasn’t comfortable speaking, I had to climb the mountain, that river, we did not know what was beneath that river. It was a risk but we got into the river. You see, Bimbo she is a beast. I weigh a 100kg and I put all of that weight on Bimbo and I said sorry I am doing this and she was like ‘lets go’ that’s why you will feel the pain Arolake felt. She held me up. I gave her everything and she gave me everything in return.”
Set in the 17th-century Oyo Empire, the movie stars actors like Kunle Remi, Bimbo Ademoye, Sola Sobowale, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Taiwo Hassan, Faithia Williams and Adebayo Salami.
Others include Moji Afolayan, Kareem Adepoju, Yinka Quadri, Aisha Lawal, Ropo Ewenla, Adewale Elesho, Sunday Omobolanle and Toyin Afolayan.
