Get ready for a romantic comedy like no other! BrainBurst brings you the scoop on the highly anticipated 3-part movie, “My Fairytale Wedding”.
The announcement was made at the 2024 Fame Week Africa, and the excitement is palpable! This rom-com is sure to capture the hearts of modern-day African women everywhere. The story revolves around a 29-year-old woman who, in her quest for love, turns to the mysterious powers of ‘kayanmata’ – a love potion from an affluent seller.
Uzor Arukwe and Lilian Esoro take on the lead roles, bringing to life characters grappling with the challenges of modern love, the complexities of relationships, and the vibrant traditions of Nigerian weddings.
According to the official logline, “My Fairytale Wedding” “delivers love, laughter and a sprinkle of magic” and offers “a refreshing reimagining of classic fairy tales, infused with African heart and soul and set against the vibrant backdrop of Lagos, Nigeria”.
Production company BrainBurst enlisted the talents of Busola Tejumola, MultiChoice West Africa’s head of content and channels, who praised the film as a breath of fresh air. “In conceptualising and producing My Fairytale Wedding, we wanted to bring something fresh and authentic to the screen – something that resonates deeply with our audience while offering a fun and light-hearted take on the challenges of love in the 21st century,” she said.
The movie has been predominantly shot in English with a blend of indigenous Nigerian languages and pidgin English. Directed by Dimeji Ajibola and produced by ChiChi Nworah, the film features a star-studded cast, including Ramsey Nouah, Carolina Hutchings, Ini Edo, Kanayo O Kanayo, Daniel Etim, Mercy Eke, Tina Mba, and Ayo Mogaji.
Although the 3-part movie concluded principal photography in 2022, MultiChoice is yet to announce a release date for the trilogy. We’re keeping our fingers crossed and can’t wait to immerse ourselves in this refreshing take on love and magic!
