Known for her thrilling role in the popular Showmax original Crime and Justice Lagos, Storms will star alongside Seun Ajayi, who was announced as a cast earlier this week.
In a statement to BellaNaija, the director, Wande Thomas said that he wanted to cast an actress that will be more active and less reactive. “It’s a very substantial role…Not just reactive, but active,” Thomas said. “We wanted a cast that would elevate the material and bring nuanced performances. Folu Storms is a rising star — and an incredible choice for one of our leads,” he added.
Though Thomas wrote the screenplay, in developing the story, he worked alongside Isoken Ogiemwonyi who is also a producer on the project.
