The first teaser of forthcoming ‘Aki and Pawpaw’ remake has been released by the productions companies, Filmone Entertainment and Play Network Studio.
The production companies released the trailer on Wednesday through their respective Instagram pages ahead of the movie eventual release.
The highly anticipated remake, titled Aki and Pawpaw will hit the cinemas nationwide on December 17.
Chinedu Ikedieze and Osita Iheme will reprise their roles as Aki and Pawpaw from the original film. In the original, the duo play brothers who cause absolute chaos at their school, home and in their village.
The film also stars Toyin Abraham, Anita Asuoha (Real Warri Pikin), Uti Nwachukwu, Stan Nze, MC Lively, Beverly Osu, Juliet Ibrahim and Chioma Okafor.
The Stephen Oluboyo and Ozioma Ogbaji story follows the mischievous brothers, who try to make a life for themselves. They coincidentally fall into fame and riches they have always craved for through the help of social media. This welcomes them into a world of pleasures, pressures, lies, deceit and enmity.
Co-executive producer and Play boss Charles Okpaleke said; “For me, Aki and Pawpaw is beyond the cliché of remaking screen favorites. What we plan to deliver is an orchestration of wittily-told comedy that would resonate with everyone. We understand the attachment the franchise has with its fans, and we are not planning to water down any part of the humor.”
