Speaking with newsmen during the premier, the mother
of two bares her mind on her experience, the inspiration behind the selection
of cast as well as the funds from Bank of Industry (BOI).
She said: “Disguise is my first cinematic movie. We
got the inspiration from a hot topic, what men really want from their women and
vice versa. I became interested in the movie through the funds from Bank of
Industry but we exhausted the funds the first week we started production.
“One interesting thing about this project
was that my team, every one of them brought life into the production. This makes
it a successful project. They worked tirelessly, from the cast, the crew, the
writer, the director and the make-up artiste. They took this project and gave
their all into it. It was not an easy task, I must confess but I encouraged me
to push harder, which was worth it.
“Every scene in the movie was not faked, we shot in
London, shot in Nigeria, we used a standard higher institution and even in
water, here in Lagos. We spent a lot of money from the pre- production stage
till the final day, yesterday. But, I am really interested in movie-making but
it cost a lot so I need to be encouraged so as to do more. There will be a part
two of the movie if I’m supported.”
Meanwhile, the story
revolves around a millionaire, who tasks a group of young adults to answer the
old age question 'what do women want', in a bid to win the ultimate prize of
N10m, a couple of friends decide to disguise themselves as the opposite sex to
find the truth- The big question is what do men want and what do women want?
