The premiere of Kunle Afolayan’s latest movie, Mokalik (Mechanic), will hold on Thursday, 30th of May in Victoria Island, Lagos.
This was announced by Afolayan in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
“🕺🕺🕺🕺MOKALIK WORLD PREMIERE HOLDS TOMORROW!” he wrote.

The movie marked pop musician, Simi’s, first appearance in a feature film.
Other actors include Femi Adebayo, Charles Okocha, Faithia Williams, Lateef Oladimeji, Wale Akorede (Okunu), Ayo Ogunshina (Papa Lolo) and Dayo Akinpelu (Alabi Yellow).
