The movie, released in cinemas nationwide on December 20, featured a star-studded cast, including Bukunmi Adeaga, Bimbo Ademoye, and host of others.
The movie producer said she wanted to surprise viewers with something “unbelievable” and create a unique experience.
Abraham said despite the challenges she encountered in securing Sunny Ade for the project, working with him was “one of the best things that happened to me in 2024”.
The filmmaker praised the singer’s professionalism and humility, revealing that he charged her less than his usual fee.
“I featured Sunny Ade because I wanted a different feel. I wanted the movie to be real because we are portraying the cast called Madam Sharon, who is wealthy, lives large, and wants to throw a party,” she said.
“Everybody knows I am very close to Pasuma, and I have featured him, Saheed Osupa, and Malaika in a film before. Also, Mercy Aigbe featured Adewale Ayuba in her film last year. So, I wanted something different, something people would not believe.
“It was not easy getting him but I did and I can say it is one of the best things that happened to me in 2024 because he is such a father.
“He was paid but I will not say I paid him because that is not his fee but he came and was professional.”
The movie, which is the fifth installment in the ‘Alakada’ series, has grossed over N400 million since its release.
