Kayode Kasum kickstarts 2024 with his upcoming release, ‘Ajosepo.’ Following a successful 2023 with box office hits ‘Afamefuna,’ ‘Something Like Gold,’ and ‘Love, Lust and Other Things.’
Set against the backdrop of a luxurious hotel, ‘Ajosepo’ delves into the lives of Dapo (Mike Afolarin) and Tani (Tomike Adeoye), two young couples joyously preparing for their wedding. However, festivities soon give way to chaos as long-buried family secrets, simmering tensions, and unexpected revelations threaten to stop their impending union.
The trailer captures the unfolding conflicts spurred by mischievous relatives, introducing a provocative moment where Yemi Sholade and Bisola Aiyeola’s characters engage in a clandestine affair, reigniting an old flame. This illicit affair disrupts the peaceful wedding preparations, hinting at the potential conflicts that will unfold in the film.
Written by Stephen Okonkwo and based on a story by Dare Olaitan, Kasum masterfully directs ‘Ajosepo’ with profound lessons on family, love, and relationships.
The star-studded cast, featuring Ronke Oshodi, Timini Egbuson, Kanaga Jr., Bisola Aiyeola, Deyemi Okanlawon, Ibrahim Yekini, Muyiwa Ademola, Adewale Ayuba, Gbohunmi David, and Lizzy Jay, adds layers of intrigue and complexity to the already compelling narrative.
Moreover, the trailer sheds light on the potency of magun, also known as thunderbolt in English. A powerful charm used in Yoruba culture to curb promiscuity, the film unveils the potency of this mystical dark force, leaving audiences eager to discover the consequences of Aiyeola characters falling victim to its enchantment.
While the trailer doesn’t reveal who invoked the thunderbolt, the aftermath of Aiyeola’s affair with Sholade promises not only an enlightening but also a humorous spectacle.
Mark your calendars as ‘Ajosepo’ is set to hit theatres on April 10, 2024.
