New Movie, ‘69’ Disrupts Yoruba Movie Scene
It is almost unheard of to have a Yoruba movie rated ‘18’ and above. Yoruba films are mostly conservative and basically conventional, but the duo of budding actress, Shola Subair and veteran actor, Victor Ibrahim Chatta, are tilting the balance in a new flick, set for release from next week titled ‘69’.
The producer of the movie Pretty Shola Shubair, has been busy on her Instagram page, posting clips from the movie. Most of the clips are so sexually explicit and very sensually daring that even Instagram had to take them down and threatened to shutdown her page. But the unrelenting actress has opened a backup page just in case Instagram follows up with their threat. Interestingly, the new page garnered over 600 followers in an hour.
The movie is about a young pretty lady, who happens to be every guys dream, but she is hard to get because she has everything at her beck and call. She believes nothing in this world can entice her until good sex came calling and her heart was a mess. She reveals.
On why the film is rated 18, she said, “it has raw content not suitable for anyone under 18. It is titled 69 because life is 69, whatever goes around comes around, if you turn 69 upside down, it give you the same thing”, she said of the title.
Shola Subair is not exactly a rooky producer, she has five other films apart from 69, namely: Fatima, Same Girl, Osumefa, Igbeyin and Apeke Ojurepepe to her credit.
The film stars other actors like Tope Adebayo, Peter Ijagbemi, Akin Olaiya and many others.
