With Adenike Odubawo and Femi Jacobs playing co-lead roles, principal photography for the upcoming film “Ajaga” is scheduled to begin. Produced by Odubawo, the drama explores themes of abuse, heartbreak and deceit. During the four weeks of development, the production team decided to add some comedy to the original plan, which was a family drama, in order to counterbalance the story’s intense emotions.

The movie’s co-star Adenike Odubawo discussed the timing of sharing this story, pointing out that while it should have been told twenty years ago, it is still relevant now. She underlined how people may relate to the story on a broad level as either victims or villains.

Cast member Carol King emphasized that “Ajaga” is not just funny, but also insightful and educative. She expressed the challenge of portraying a character with differing views on abuse, stressing her commitment to addressing the dark sides of life, particularly for women.
