Kemi Adetiba on a recent interview on the basis of her movie ‘King of Boys’ opens up on a particular scene that saw actress Shola Shobowale flagellate herself. The talented script writer and movie producer revealed the moment was real as Shola had insisted that it should be played in such a manner.
The film director said;
“I feel as if I’ve held my breath for over a year. This was a sophomore effort to a very successful title. The stakes were high. So, as a team, we’re grateful to be here. Sola Sobowale is a method actor,” the movie director said.
“So the whipping you see is [real]. It was a very somber shoot for me and the crew and I remember needing to look away many times. She insisted on it playing out that way. This is why it comes off very realistic on screen.”
One of the scenes of the first episode of the series Sobowale flagellated herself to atone for her mistakes in the prequel. She used a whip and a bowl of liquified powder pepper that left her back bleeding.
Making reference to this scene, Adetiba took to Instagram on Friday to share the magazine publication quoting her.
She didn’t, however, comment on whether or not the scars and blood were achieved through makeup and effects.
Adetiba had earlier revealed that she never had to pitch the series, which debuted on August 27, to Netflix.
