Nollywood actor and filmmaker Jide Awobona has revealed the challenges behind taking on a female role in his latest film, Rise With Me. He made this known in an interview with Potpourri, where he spoke candidly about the preparation and intentions behind the project.
"To start with, for every movie I produce, I always aim to do something I have not done before," Awobona said. "Aside from having a fantastic story, I love to include a wow factor in every project. There has to be something memorable to hold on to. There has to be a strong message. Beyond the message, the movie must carry weight, boldness, and audacity-something daring."
