Fans of Folagade Banks’ popular Mama Deola character are set for a new experience as the much-loved skit personality makes the move from social media to a feature-length movie in A Mama Deola Wedding Story.
The highly anticipated comedy centres on the wedding of Demilola and Femi, but what should be a memorable celebration quickly becomes a chaotic affair filled with family drama, unexpected moments and colourful wedding guests.
Folagade Banks takes on multiple roles in the project, serving as the writer, producer and star of the film. Veteran filmmaker Femi Adebayo directs the movie.
The film features a star-studded cast, including Omowunmi Dada, Rotimi Salami, Shaffy Bello, Bukky Wright, Iya Rainbow, Erica Nlewedim, Toyin Abraham and Akin Lewis.
At the centre of the story is Mama Deola, the character that has earned Folagade Banks a strong following through his popular comedy skits. The movie expands the character’s world into a longer-form story built around the drama and humour of a Nigerian wedding.
