According to him, Tunde Kelani and he had a gentleman’s agreement that he would receive 30% of any profits from Part 1 of the movie, but he only received $15,000 out of the $180,000 in earnings.
His words,
“I was shocked and highly demoralized when I received N15,000 through Kelani’s manager from the sum of N180,000 we made from first sale”.
The Legendary actor said Kelani who happened to be his good friend gave him excuse that some people must share from the profit. He said the attitude of the ace cinematographer did not encourage him to do the Part 2 which is the concluding part.
