My father would haunt my dreams if I act in bad movies — Hubert Ogunde’s son, Owobo

Owobo, one of the sons of a Nigerian theatre pioneer, Hubert Ogunde, played the role of ‘Bashorun’ in the movie series, ‘Anikulapo: Rise of the Spectre’. He tells FAITH AJAYI about his experience working on that movie, other aspects of his career, and relationship with his dad

Kunle Afolayan claimed that he heard your late father telling him to feature you in the movie. How did that make you feel?

Subsequent to the ‘ask’ sinking in, the realisation surfaced in my mind that it was time to answer the call of destiny. For most people, the reaction would have been euphoric. But, owing to my deep understanding of the creative process; my reaction was a full dedication to preparation. Repetition is key to creativity.

Even though you haven’t been active in the movie industry, you played one of the major roles in the movie series. What was your approach to taking on that role?
