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.

When it comes to filmmaking, Kunle Afolayan’s achievements cannot be overlooked. The Award-winning producer who hit the ground running again after his massive 2015 AMVCA victory premiered his latest project, ‘The CEO’ today. And yes, it was a big deal.
He has become the first movie producer to hold a premier on a plane. The flick got its first airing on Air France flight 149 from MMIA in Lagos to Paris. (35,000 feet above Africa).
What is happening tonight, that has never happened before anywhere in the world. It’s going to be a premiere of a film in a plane. We decided to come up with this initiative to show the world that Africans are innovative, Nigerians are special people.” He said before take-off
