Former super eagles captain jj Okocha joins nollywood and produces a movie about Majek Fashek, played by Francis Duru

Word out at the moment has it that our
dear Nigerian football legend Austin JJ Okocha
is currently producing a movie about reggae
star Majek Fashek.
The movie’s screen play is reportedly written by
Charles Novia, and features Fracis Duru as
Majek Fashek, Sam Dede, Stella Damascus and
other top Nollywood actors.
According to Novia, the movie is shooting on
35mm and took about 3 years to fine-tune. It is
presently at its pre-production stage, after
which the crew will travel to New York in
October to shoot the America scene, which is
the major part of the film.
Fracis Duru, as it was gathered has been
undergoing guitar lessons, and extensive study
of Majek’s character for the past eight month
to fit the role.
Here’s what Francis said about Majek Fashek:

     Whatever his travails and the public
perception of him, Majek still remain a
world class material, who has
promoted so much interest world wide
with his type of genre of music, So a
movie of his life and career has to
meet a world class,”
