At the pre-launch press conference on Thursday at the Livespot Entertainment Centre in Lagos, she revealed this.
As I’ve mentioned previously, this was an idea I got in my brain while intoxicated in my room. When I shared the idea with my incredible team, they didn’t make me feel foolish.
As Savage recalled, “They actually just said this is a brilliant idea.” On May 10, “Water & Garri” had its Prime Video debut. The film tells the tale of Aisha (Tiwa Savage), a young woman who has grown apart from her family and returns to discover her hometown has changed significantly from what she left behind.
It also stars Andrew Bunting (as Kay), Mike Afolarin (as Mide), and Jemima Osunde (as Stephany).
The movie was filmed in Cape Coast, Ghana, and directed by Meji Alabi.
