The comedy starring veteran and new Nollywood actors has been hailed for its perfect blend of old and new Nollywood. In a recent radio interview, Bovi revealed more details ahead of the film's June 11, 2021 theatrical release.

“In such a time as now where mental health issues are prevalent, it is important to humor the struggles that people face in their lives and this movie does just that," Bovi shared.

"Everyone goes through unfortunate events that they believe are beyond their control, it is important to have these conversations so that people know that they’re not alone in their struggles, everyone is going through something.”
