Titi Kuti, popularly known as Ade Tiger, has revealed that many doubted his capacity as an actor to pull off an epic character, noting that playing Adigun was a challenging and exciting role for him.
He said this while speaking exclusively with Per Second News.
In his words, “Playing the role of Adigun in Anikulapo: Rise of the Sceptre was challenging for me being a traditional role, but I knew I had to bring my A-game considering the fact that Anikulapo is a big movie on screens.
“I was willing to go the extra mile across the board to absorb the character. I am a Yoruba boy, very proud of my heritage, so I took on this role quite personally because this is a footprint in the sand of time with a project that celebrates my culture so richly.
“Many had also initially doubted my capacity as an actor to pull off an epic character and thought it was out of my league of versatility.
“It was also an opportunity for me to take on that challenge head-on. I believe the results speak for themselves now.”
He said the movie Anikulapo is just starting, as it is said to be bigger than “Game of Thrones”, and also hinted that “King of Boys” is set to be back on screens later this year.
“Anikulapo Story does leave room for continuity. There are also strong considerations from Netflix based on the overwhelming demand from their viewers. Kunle Afolanyan has also said the movie will be bigger than Game of Thrones.
“So, there is a strong possibility we will have several more seasons over the next 5 years. We will leave it at that for now. But one thing is sure: King of Boys is back later this year for season 2, so they will likely be seeing Ade Tiger again first,” Kuto added.
