Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola’s daughter, Temi who recently joined her sisters in the showbiz industry as she makes her debut in the movie industry has eventually opened up on veteran actor cum filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan who featured her in his new movie titled; “Citation“
She said; “I have been watching Mr Afolayan’s films for a long time. From Figurine to October 1st and when I met him, I told him I had been watching his movies for a long time.”
“He then told me that he had a script he was working on and the lead character is actually a girl around my age. It was a story I could relate to and I was interested.”
“I felt it was a character I could interpret well. I read the script and I was so excited. For a whole month, I had to audition because he wasn’t sure. For about six months, we discussed the role and I’m so excited because I feel the story would resonate with people.”
“Also, I believe that I would do justice to the role. I really cannot give much details about the script but I’m so honoured and humbled to be given this opportunity.”
“I have just been waiting for the right time and platform to showcase my talent. And with Kunle Afolayan, I found the perfect opportunity to explore that creative side of myself. I am so happy that this is coming at this time because it means I would be starting from the top.”
“What fascinated me about the script was the message to tell women that we are hearing their stories, that we believe them. Women are being harassed in several ways and I believe that this movie would embolden those who are affected to come out and tell their stories.”
