Nigeria’s King of Reggae music,
Majek Fashek is currently in the studio recording tunes for the sound track of
Obi Madubogwu’s new film, The Grave Dust.
Although Madubogwu refused to
disclose how much the deal is worth, he stressed that the choice of Majek
Fashek came after series of consultations amongst members of the production
crew who resolved unanimously that Majek Fashek fondly called the Rainmaker has
‘a voice that captures the essence of
the story’.
“It is a good deal for both parties, but I cannot disclose how much it is worth on the pages of the newspaper. Majek Fashek was chosen after a careful evaluation of his profile. His background in music captures the essence of the film”, Mdaubogwu said.
The film directed by Ikechukwu Onyeka was written by Ugezu Ugezu and Saint Joseph, but was sponsored by Crownprince Productions, a frontline entertainment company. The suspense-filled psycho-thriller tells the story of a successful stockbroker, who suddenly hits the reverse gear on the lane of success due to reasons he could not comprehend and how he was left in his own world in his palatial mansion that is filled with tormenting
elements.
Speaking on the new work, Madubogwu, the producer who came to international limelight with his role in ‘Battle of Musanga’, said ‘The Grave Dust’ was conceived to take the industry to the next level. According to him, “I have done several productions in Nollywood having practiced for over two decades now. I must say that the story of ‘The Grave Dust’ is one of the most unique stories I have encountered; which was why I made sure that nothing was spared in making it a huge success.
It is unique in the sense that it questions a lot of concepts that are easily overlooked in the African society.
The film was made with Africans in mind and that is where Nollyood is headed now. It allows the audience to make decisions from the unfolding drama and suspense.” The Grave Dust, parades renowned actors like Joke Silver, Ramsey Nouah, Emeka Okoro and Joseph Benjamin.
