It is a moment of joy for Toyin Abraham, Timini Egbuson, Niyi Akinmolayan, Akay Mason and other stake holders of the popular Nollywood movie, “Elevator baby”.
Glam Squad Magazine has gathered that the movie franchise was bought by a popular Indian movie producer and was recreated, making it the first Nigerian film to be recreated in India.
Niyi, took to Twitter and wrote about how an Indian producer fell in love with the story, “He had fallen in love with the story and wanted to buy the rights for a remake. I thought it was a joke o…until dollars entered my akant!!! They made a really beautiful Indian version and I can’t wait to watch it. Elevator baby was a labour of love and was so much hard work.”
