Mr Novia, who is known for films such as ‘Missing Angel’, ‘Caught in The Middle’ and ‘Alan Poza’, also hinted that he would film and release the biopic as a legacy or a documentary in honour of the late musician and his estate.on Wednesday, Mr Novia, whose November Records released Majek’s 2005 album ‘Little Patience’ in Nigeria, explained that Majek’s biopic was stalled back then because he didn’t really want the biopic shot.
“Now that he is dead and technology has given us a better way of shooting, I will have to shoot the film as my own contribution to his legacy because he was a legend. In spite of everything, he was a legend”. Asked if Duru would still play the role, Novia said, “We will be casting a new set of actors for the film. At the time we cast Francis Duru, he was younger. We have newer and younger actors that will be shortlisted for the role of Majek, after screen tests”.In 2016, “Ghetto Dreamz: The Dagrin Story,” a biopic based on the true-life story of the late Nigerian rap artiste, Dagrin who passed away on April 22, 2010, in a ghastly accident, was released.
