Jagun Jagun: Faith Williams Speaks On How She Almost Rejected Movie Role

Nollywood Actress, Faithia Williams has revealed that she would have missed out on being a part of the trending movie Jagun Jagun (The Warrior).

Naija News reports that the 2-hour indigenous movie tells the story of a violent and selfish leader of an elite army who is threatened when a mystical young warrior crossed his path.

The young man, a character played by Lateef Adedimeji, was determined to become a mighty warrior, and he joined the elite army, encountering the wrath of the maniacal warlord (Femi Adebayo) and the love of a woman.

Taking to her Instagram to share her thoughts about the movie, Faithia said her management team convinced her to take the role.

“From the very moment I held the script of “Jagun-Jagun” in my hands, little did I fathom the profound journey it would embark upon. While Femi’s visionary approach was evident, the depth and intricacy of his ambition for this masterpiece only truly unveiled itself on the silver screen.

“‘Jagun-Jagun’ is not just a movie; it’s a tapestry of emotions, dedication, and sheer artistry. A heartfelt salute to the post-production maestros, led by the impeccable talents of @anthills_ and @niyiakinmolayan, who breathed life into this vision,” she wrote.

The 54-year-old added, “By the way, I almost didn’t take the role but my management @thehypeagencyng led by @officialsamolatunji1 said I must take it. Today, I am glad I listened.”

To the producer, she wrote, “Femi, with each frame, you’ve not only set a new benchmark but also ignited a fire within us, pushing boundaries and redefining excellence. Because of you, mediocrity will never be in our vocabulary. Your passion is both infectious and inspiring.”
