Why we paired Kosoko, Jombo, Mercy, others in Kondo Game

The producers of the highly hilarious movie, Kondo Game, have disclosed why they featured loads of A-list stars in the movie.

According to them, the scripting demands using actors, who have not just the bearing, but can relate in comical terms life in a typical Nigerian neighborhood.

Produced by Maryam Harris and directed by Charles Uwagbai, Kondo Game features top acts including Uche Jombo, Jide Kosoko, Mercy Aigbe-Gentry, Mercy Johnson, Cossy Orjiakor, Funny Bone and Francis Odega of Gerrara Hia Mehn!

“The presence of some of these stars alone commands laughter,” says Maryam Harris. “The script is set to dazzle movie lovers using events around them, but retold in dramatic and hilarious ways using remarkable cast. We saw the need to create a film that is highly entertaining and have committed huge investment to achieve first-rate production,” she added.

The comic adventure movie depicts life in the police barracks, with the mischief of two notorious police officers, Austin and Vincent, putting viewers on an unending laughter.

Played by Francis Odega and Funnybone, the two police officers would later be faced with controversial tasks. With a sloppy boss, Jide Kosoko to contend with, Austin and Vincent are locked in between crime busting and bursting a romantic fling with a voluptuous mistress, played by Cossy Ojiakor, who runs a beer parlour in the neighbourhood. Cossy’s exploit heightens the rib-cracking comic adventure.

The movie which has an absorbing story-line is expected to hit the cinemas soon.
