Popular filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan, has received applauses
over his new movie, ‘Anikulapo’, which explored the ancient Oyo kingdom.
The movie, which was acted in Yoruba language, features
A-list actors and actresses such as Kunle Remi, Yinka Quadri, Bimbo Ademoye,
Sola Sobowale, and a host of many others.
The story of death, resurrection and the greedy desires of
men, premiered in the cinemas and on Netflix on September 30, 2022.
Since its release, fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate
the filmmaker and appreciate the movie.
Lagos lawmaker, Akin Alabi, who asked for the continuity of
the movie, tweeted, “So many angles for Kunle Afolayan to explore if he wants
to turn Anikulapo into a series.
“Why did Saro leave Gbongan? Maybe he did bad things there.
Did Arolake go back to Oyo? Is Saro still alive? So many angles. Series please.”
Another tweep, @OlisaOsega, said, “Omo! Kunle Afolayan is a
legend bruh. This Anikulapo movie is too dope abeg. From the casting to the
acting to the costumes to the location used, everything is 10/10.
“The attention to details is probably the best I’ve seen in
any Nollywood movie. Kunle is too good, no cap.”
Radio presenter, Osi Suave, said, “One thing the Anikulapo
movie showed is the unending hospitality of the Yoruba people.
“Ever willing to take any and everyone in with open arms and
even give them a means of fending for themselves.”
Afolayan, who acknowledged the praises for the movie, also
revealed that the Nigeria Oscar Selection Committee rejected ‘Anikulapo’.
He tweeted, “I am so pleased and delighted that the whole
world have decided to tagged ANIKULAPO film ‘a masterpiece’ even though the
Nigeria Oscar selection committee think it’s not worth submitting for the
Oscars. I will keep doing my own thing.”
