Kunle Afolayan's CEO premieres in London
London stood still for the premiere of Kunle Afolayan’s blockbuster, The CEO.
The movie which starred Wale Ojo, Kemi Lala Akindoju, Hilda Dokubo and triple Grammy Award Winner Angelique Kidjo had an impressive outing at the Toronto International Film Festival.
As the bar has been raised in Nollywood, it’s no surprise that Kunle Afolayan hit us with a masterpiece of thriller with twists, turns and intrigue. The producer/director just seems to get better with every film and The CEO was further proof of that.
More than the film though, was the cast. The fun they had while making the film was clear from their rapport on the red carpet and even as they joked and interacted during question time.
The entire cast was present in London’s prestigious Leicester Square Vue Cinema
The ladies sparkled and dazzled; Aurelie in mesmerising green, and (killer lady) in show stopping white. All eyes were on Angelique Kidjo as her tiny frame, draped in traditional African print, buzzed and captivated all in attendance.
The gentlemen were effortlessly elegant in suits, with Wale Ojo stealing the show in a matching shirt and blazer created from beautiful African print also.
