February 27, (THEWILL) – Seasoned film maker, Tunde Kelani, plans to produce a film on the life and times of music icon, Sikiru Ololade Ayinde Balogun, professionally known as Ayinde Barrister.
Following the success of his last movie project, Ayinla which was produced to celebrate late music maestro, Ayinla Omowura, Kelani says he felt it was imperative to tell the intriguing story of another great music icon that pioneered the fuji genre in Nigeria.
The Chief Executive Officer of Mainframe Productions adds that apart from celebrating Barrister, the movie will also showcase Barrister’s contributions to the development of the music industry in Nigeria.
THEWILL gathered that the movie, which still has a working title of the late musician will be released in 2023. Kelani says the idea was conceived about four years ago, but he decided to release that of Ayinla Omowura first. He promised to unveil some of the cast of the movie in no distant time.
