The new film produced by Joy Odiete will launch a month after its official trailer premiered to rave reviews.

Directed by Emelonye, Money Miss Road stars Jidekene Achufusi (Living In Bondage), comedian Josh Alfred, popularly known as Josh2Funny and veteran entertainer Charly Boy,

The film follows two down-on-their-luck friends Josiah and Joseph.

When Josiah’s wife, Lucy (Oma Iyasara) arrives without notice and with their three daughters, Joseph (Achufusi) checks into a local hotel. But, a mix-up lands him in a room belonging to Diokpa (Charley Boy), a local criminal Lord.

What Joseph finds in Diokpa’s room changes his life and that of his friend Josiah (Josh2Funny) thus sparking a game of cat and mouse with Diokpa tracing the two Joes to Lagos where they have become the biggest boys in town.

With Money Miss Road, Emelonye explores the high-in-demand action-fused comedy with his classic storytelling style that’s earned him multiple local and international awards.

The award-winning director has directed movies like Last Flight to Abuja, Onye Ozi and The Mirror Boy.
