In addition to thanking the actors and crew for their support thus far, the director also hinted at the movie’s release date. “We watched an amazing epic tale of love shrouded in mystery in front of a small audience yesterday. I’m still recovering from this piece of art’s exquisite welcome. We are so appreciative of everyone who came out to support us.
Words are unable to express the emotion. He declared, “ASIRI ADE IS COMING.”
The pictures offer a sneak peek at what will happen in the big Yoruba film.
