Super Eagles legend Austin Jay Jay Okocha has delved into Nollywood, producing a movie on the life of reggae star Majek Fashek.
Majek
Fasek was described as a prophet and a poet by his fans. He is one of
Nigeria’s best musicians ever, compared to the likes of Alpha Boldy and
Lucky Dube.
The screen play is written by Charles Novia, and
featuring is Fracis Duru as Majek Fasek, Sam Dede, Stella Damascus and
other top Nollywood actors.
According to Novia, the movie is
shooting on 35mm and took about 3 years to fine-tune and is presently at
is pre-production stage, after which the crew will travel to New York
in October to shoot the America scene, which is the major part of the
film.
Fracis Duru, as it was gathered has been undergoing guitar
lessons, and extensive study of Majek’s character for the past eight
month to fix into the role.
“Whatever his travails and the public
perception of him, Majek still remain a world class material, who has
promoted so much interest world wide with his type of genre of music, So
a movie of his life and career has to meet a world class,” Fracis Duru
said.
