The role marked Owobo’s Nollywood debut since the passing of his legendary father in 1990. The younger Ogunde’s acting prowess has sparked comparisons to his late father, with audiences noting the talent that runs in the family. Most people don’t like that Bashorun will stop at nothing to get whatever he wants. That’s where most people, including myself, differ from Bashorun.: I’m not from Oyo in Oyo State, so I speak differently from them. I could not even read the script myself when I looked at it. It was tough. So I got someone who speaks fluently to read everything, and we could listen to everything. I had to listen to that as part of my preparation. I only needed a little preparation.

Some time ago, someone asked me why Bashorun spoke so slowly. And then I answered, have you ever met a powerful man who talks fast? How many Nigerian Presidents speak fast? That’s your answer. So, I went to see him based on my father’s history. When I saw him, he brought back many memories of his father because he looked like his father.

So yes, I left in 1992 and did some work in the UK when I left. I just decided to move away from art, and when I made that decision, I closed the entire chapter. I don’t even watch Nollywood at all. PT: Now that Kunle has brought you back, will we continue seeing you on screen, or are you tempted to retreat again?: There was already a calling, even before I made it. Nothing happens by mistake, as you know.

I am an actor born into acting, and being an actor means that you understand character development and you know how to depict a character in a story, so I’m interested in character-led drama movies and just, you know, airy fairy-type storytelling.: What I cannot see myself playing is a wishy-washy type character. If the story is not well put together, the whole thing is just a mumbo-jumbo of crap, then you will certainly not be seeing me there. I promise you that.

He is a legend, and becoming like him is not my job; by that, I mean I don’t want to create another brand; there’s only one. And I’m happy that I’m a part of the family.There’s no competition; there’s only one Shakespeare, and that’s it. You just uphold the family name.
