December 28, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Femi Adebayo, has revealed that the inspiration behind his latest film, ‘Seven Doors,’ came from the life of a king he was close to.
He said, “It is extremely important to preserve our culture. Creating content with films woven around the beauty of our culture is one of the ways of preserving it so that the generations yet unborn can also enjoy it and be educated.
“I was fortunate to be close to a particular king, and it was what he went through that provoked the idea and concept of ‘Seven Doors.’ Many people see our kings as mini gods, which they are, but they forget that they are humans with blood running in their veins too.
“So, they face a lot before and after they get on the throne. And that is what we displayed in the movie.”
Adebayo added that beyond the theme of culture, the acclaimed movie series is a love story.
“I also want to preach that love is above all. So, where we have a conflict between love and tradition, automatically it is love that wins,” he said.
