Why I Conceived Omotola Naked Under Waterfall – Film Producer

Movie producer Yemi Amodu has revealed how he initially planned to have Nollywood superstar, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde appear nude in his recent movie Shadow Parties.

Amodu made the revelation in an interview with Phenomenal.

Shadow Parties is centred around a communal clash that evolves into a bigger threat, starring Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Sola Sobowale, Yemi Blaq, Toyin Abraham and a host of other stars, with Yemi Amodu as producer.

Amodu said, “Most of our films lack originality. Omotola is the one who was supposed to bathe naked under the waterfalls, but we couldn’t really achieve that.”

Speaking further on getting a talent like Omotola for the role, the producer said “One thing is sure: if you have the right cast, you have a good film. Because I have an important message to pass, I have to go for actors that people will like to watch, those they can easily connect to and listen to. I, for instance, see Omotola as an ambassador of peace.

“So, if I am writing about peace, it is sensible for me to think in her direction. I also need someone who would be able to interpret the role well. When she is abducted, she should be able to tell her abductors some truth.”. Amodu concluded.

Shadow Parties is distributed by Netflix and was released on the 6th of September, 2021.

It has also bagged two African Movies Academy Awards nominations for Achievement in Production Design and Best Nigerian film.
