Excitement is building as Nollywood actor and director Lateef Adedimeji prepares for the premiere of Lisabi Season 2. The celebrated actor recently announced on Instagram that the highly anticipated sequel to his critically acclaimed movie Lisabi is almost ready.
Lateef expressed his enthusiasm in his tweet, indicating that the official trailer would be out shortly. As he teased fans with a surprise, asking them to identify the identity of a masked character in the movie, he called the impending endeavor a masterpiece. As Lateef put it:
“The wait is over; the official trailer of Lisabi 2 – A Legend is Born drops tomorrow, and we’re excited because you’re about to witness greatness. Look at this image—who do you think is behind the mask? There might be a little gift for anyone who guesses correctly.”
Fans flooded the comments section with enthusiasm:
“We can’t wait!” wrote Tunde Olaiya Direct.
“You outdid yourself. Lisabi is a masterpiece. Well done!” praised Rentadress Nostress.
“Yoruba movies are becoming more exciting than usual. I love it!” said Prettyrae_xx.
There is a lot of anticipation for Lisabi 2 following the popularity of the first installment, which was made available on Netflix. The film's co-creators, Lateef and his wife Mo Bimpe, have already talked about the enormous difficulties they encountered while making it.
Lateef revealed in an interview on City 105.1FM that he had to think about selling his car because the project's finance requirements were much more than he had expected. He revealed:
“We had a particular budget for this film, but we ended up spending five times more. It was extremely tough. At one point, I put my car up for sale, thinking, ‘If someone buys it now, I’ll have the money.’ Luckily, I didn’t find a buyer. Instead, a few people offered financial support, telling me to return the money when I could.”
Despite the hurdles, Lisabi became a landmark production, earning widespread acclaim. Fans are now eagerly awaiting the sequel, which promises to deliver even greater storytelling and cinematic excellence.
