In an interview, Muyiwa Ademola confidently assured fans that the Ori sequel would be highly enjoyable. However, he humorously cautioned that those who didn’t appreciate the first *Ori* film should not bother watching the new installment, emphasizing its strong connection to the original story.
He said: “I have spent millions, like over N400 million, investing in my new movie. You will love it and enjoy it. I need to make back my money. I need to make money, I need profit. If you watched the first Ori and didn’t enjoy it, don’t watch this one”.
The announcement follows Femi Adebayo’s revelation of selling personal assets to fund his high-budget film Jagun Jagun. Ademola’s appeal underscores the financial risks Nollywood filmmakers face in producing large-scale, ambitious movie projects.
