Veteran actors, Richard Mofe Damijo and Sola Sobowale have
reunited in a new movie 21 years after their last movie together, ‘Diamond
ring’
Ogidan first paired the top Nollywood stars as an onscreen
couple for his blockbuster in 1998.
In the flick,
‘Diamond Ring,’ RMD and Sobowale were the parents of a teenager (played
by Teju Babyface), who joined a bad gang, to rob the corpse of a powerful woman
wearing a Diamond Ring. The ghost of the late woman started haunting him till
he confessed and returned the ring.
Ogidan’s new movie, ‘Gold Statue’ tells an almost related
story. The filmmaker pairs RMD and Sobowale as the onscreen couple and parents
of (Gabriel Afolayan) one of the two young men (Kunle Remi), who went in search
of a ‘Gold Statue’ believed to be an inherited deity.
‘Gold Statue’ also starred some of the cast of ‘Diamond
Ring’ including Tunji Bamishigbin and Nobert Young.
Tade Ogidan left the NTA for private productions in 1990 and
set up OGD PICTURES, LTD. OGD is coined from his last name, OGIDAN. He has
since written, produced and directed hit movie projects like Hostages, Owo
Blow, Diamond Ring, Out Of Bounds, Raging Storm, 7 – 12, Playing Games, Saving
Alero, Dangerous Twins, Madam Dearest, Ayo Mi Da and Family On Fire, most of
which are multiple award-winners in and outside Nigeria.
