For the very first time in Nigeria, movie premiere tickets will be sold. The ticket is said to cost N100, 000 and it will attract a couple. The delightful family movie tells the story of Mimi, daughter of a billionaire, who despises poverty and poor people so much, but found out her extremely rich parents were not her biological parent and her real parent ‘sold’ her off at a young age to raise some funds to train her siblings. In a bid to make her more responsible, her rich parent made her spend two weeks holiday with her biological parent who live in abject poverty in a ghetto. Her story is akin to leaving Banana Island to live in Ajegunle. The twist and turns of survival in the ghetto after 24 years of opulence and rich-love gone sour makes the movie an interesting piece.
The event is sponsored by JAC Motors, Wakanow, Slice Media, and Wave Beach. Attendees can win prizes for themselves including a return trip ticket to Kenya, a brandnew car, and a plot of land courtesy of Veritasi Homes and Properties Limited.
The movie is executive produced by 007 Global and AUL Media Studios in conjunction with SBD Global Media. It is directed by fast-rising movie director Samuel ‘’Bigsam’’ Olatunji, the director of Dear Affy and executive producer of Seven and a Half Dates.
Mimi, which is set to be released on May 14, 2021, will be screened in more than 60 cinemas across the country.
