A biographical movie based on the life of late award-winning popular rapper Dagrin, is soon to be filmed, as a way of sustaining the works and ideals of the rapper who lost his life in a ghastly motor accident last year, Thursday April 22, 2010.
The movie which is to be titled ‘GHETTO DREAMZ’, will historically narrate the life and times of the late rapper; his early years as an upcoming artiste, his claim to fame and the circumstances surrounding his tragic death.
The biopic is expected to hit the cinemas in April 2011 as part of the 1st anniversary memorial project in honour of the late rapper.
Auditions for the roles in the biopic are to hold on Saturday February 5, 2011 and shooting will officially begin on Saturday February 7, 2011.
‘The reason for the audition is to choose the best actors and actresses for the movie, particularly the best person that can play the character of Dagrin. The person to play the character of the late rapper must have a resemblance with him in mannerism, looks and other traits as getting an actor that doesn’t meet up with that standard may forfeit the reason for the immortalization of the late rapper’, director of the movie Daniel Ademinokan explains.
Ope Banwo, the producer of the movie and the CEO of Stingomania Records reveals the reason behind the biopic, ‘Dagrin was an emerging star in the Nigerian music scene, it is only imperative for stakeholders in the industry to do something about memorializing his name in a constructive and enduring manner, there is need for something to be done to keep his hopes and dreams alive for the next generation of struggling and upcoming artistes’
