Nigerian music sensation, Tiwa Savage, has opened up about the unconventional genesis of her debut movie, ‘Water & Garri,’ admitting that the concept was conceived while she was intoxicated.
During a pre-launch press conference held at the Livespot Entertainment Centre in Lagos on Thursday, Savage candidly shared the inspiration behind the movie’s creation. “I said this before, this is an idea I had in my head when I was drunk in my room, and when I brought the idea to my amazing team, they didn’t make me feel stupid. They actually just said this is a brilliant idea,” Savage recounted.
‘Water & Garri’ made its debut on Prime Video on May 10, introducing audiences to the story of Aisha, played by Tiwa Savage, a young woman who returns to her native home only to find it vastly transformed from the one she left behind.
The movie boasts a stellar cast including Andrew Bunting as Kay, Mike Afolarin as Mide, and Jemima Osunde as Stephany. Filmed in Cape Coast, Ghana, the movie was helmed by director Meji Alabi.
With its unconventional origin story and promising premise, ‘Water & Garri’ has sparked interest among fans eager to witness Tiwa Savage’s foray into the world of filmmaking.
