Femi Adebayo declared that he believed so much in the movies, hence the decision of why he sold some of his things to meet up.
The actor also revealed that the inspiration for the movie stems from his determination to “pass across a social message to the youth and I wanted to do it naturally.”
“Jagun Jagun is a multi-billion naira project and I can’t say the exact amount I spent on it on shooting. I used the proceeds of Agbeshinkole to produce Jagun Jagun. I was working on not getting funded by finance houses and individuals.
“At a point, I was out of finance and because I had faith that the project would work, I sold my properties. We built from scratch the warrior school. We were faced with the challenge of purchasing that land, we wanted to own the land. And at a point, we had an agreement and paid for it, but the children of the owner of the land changed their minds about the sale.
“We built the school halfway when the children who came from Lagos told us to stop. They were ready to destroy all that we built and that held us up for almost a week, going to the police station and Obas appealing to them and we were told to only shoot there and not buy it,” Femi Adebayo said.
