Speaking through the movie publicist, Big Sam Media, the actress reveals that she was fascinated by the simplicity of the story of Mirror Boy and the determination of the producer and director, Obi Emelonye to do something ‘special’.
Mirror Boy which has been at Nigerian cinemas for four weeks running is said to have grossed over N15 million, allegedly setting the enviable record of being the highest selling Nollywood movie in Ghana and the longest running movie by any African in UK cinema. The movie which was shot in Gambia features Genevieve Nnaji, Osita Iheme and a Gambian upcoming star Edward Kagutuzi.
On their arrival in Banjul, Tijan encounters a strange apparition – a boy smiling at him in a mirror and then vanishing. Seeing the same boy in a crowded street market the next day sets in motion a chain of events, with Tijan finding himself lost. While Tijan’s panic-stricken mother struggles to find her son, Tijan is left alone in the company of the enigmatic Mirror Boy, seemingly visible to him only. A cathartic climax helps TIJANI to unravel the mystery of the MIRROR BOY. It also provides him with a rather mystical explanation for the way his life has cascaded from the 13th of June towards this inter-twined fate with a father he has never met.
