Whilst sharing the difficulty her absence had on the production journey, he said in an exclusive interview with Pulse Nigeria that, "My wife has not been by my side throughout this process. In hindsight, that might have been the reason why this has been the toughest thing to have ever gone through."

He said, "I remember talking to Mo Abudu, I reached out to tell her that this is my plan, and she gave me her blessings and offered me the entire Ebony Life building to shoot for free. She gave my lead actor from South Africa, one of her hotels, to stay the entire period at no cost to me."
