In an August interview with Independence, Femi Adebayo had hinted at the scope of his new project, describing it as “better than Jagun Jagun.” He elaborated on the film’s unique setting:
“The next movie that I said is bigger than Jagun Jagun is titled Seven Doors. It’s set in two eras—the 18th century and the 19th century—which means we have the old-school setting with those 504s and Volkswagens, and it also takes us back to that kind of Jagun Jagun environment.
“It’s a mix, featuring multiple tribes. It’s about a Yoruba king married to an Igbo woman, with a Hausa man coming to invest. It’s a showcase of Nigerian culture.”
The cast of Seven Doors includes an array of stars such as Femi Adebayo, Chioma Akpotha, Wumi Toriola, Yinka Quadri, Oshodi Oke, Dayo Amusa, Adebayo Salami and Gabriel Afolayan.
Seven Doors trailer was first released on the streaming platform, Netflix’s Instagram page on Friday November 15, with the post urging fans to troop to its site to watch once it is released.
