May 21, (THEWILL)- Like singer, Tiwa Savage, who was the executive producer of the movie, Water and Garri and featured in it, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, has also extended his entertainment tentacles to include making movies.
He is teaming up with Big Black Mac, a movie production company, to produce a movie titled: ‘3 Cold Dishes’.

Directed by Asurf Oluseyi and written by Tomi Adesina, ‘3 Cold Dishes’ is a story set across Nigeria, the Republic of Benin, and Côte d’Ivoire. The film follows three teenagers, victims of sex trafficking, who reunite thirteen years later to plot their revenge.
Oluseyi described the movie as the biggest pan-African film yet and “an African cinematic journey like no other.
“This film is a testament to the strength and resilience of its characters, and it took us blood and sweat to get it to this stage”, he said.
The movie boasts of star-studded casts such as Osas Ighodaro, Femi Jacobs, Wale Ojo, Ruby Akubueze, Brutus Richards, as well as some Ivorian and Senegalese actors.
‘3 Cold Dishes’ is one of the dozen lined-up projects by Big Black Mac, a production company championing African and Middle Eastern talent.
