After months of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that there will be a sequel to Nollywood box-office record holder, The Wedding Party and production has commenced.
According to executive producer of the film and CEO of EbonyLife Films, Mo Abudu, shoot for the film reportedly commenced yesterday, May 1, 2017, and it is being directed not by Kemi Adetiba this time, but by Niyi Akinmolayan whose The Arbitration is regarded by many as one of the good Nigerian films of 2016.
To be titled The Wedding Party 2, the sequel will have Malcom McLean as its director of photography.
The Wedding Party which featured Adesua Etomi, Banky W, Richard Mofe Damijo, Ireti Doyle and more grossed close to half a billion Naira in Nigerian cinemas following its December 16, 2016 release.
It also stars newcomers Omoni Oboli, Seyi Law, Chigurl among others.
In "The Wedding Party" sequel, Nonso (Enyinna Nwigwe), has continued his romance with Deirdre (Daniella Down), the bridesmaid from London. Somehow, Nonso manages to propose by accident, while on a dinner date, and sets off a chain of events too powerful to stop.
Deirdre’s upper-crust British family are against the match, as are some members of the Nigerian clan, but Deirdre’s determination can’t be contained.
After a near-disastrous introduction ceremony in Lagos and Nigerian opposition to a London wedding, both families reluctantly agree to a wedding in Dubai, setting us off on another colourful, chaotic and memorable journey to everlasting love.
Some of the cast and crews of the sequel have shared a few behind the scenes photos online and there is one thing to note, — Dunni has a baby bump!
