At 72 years old, Jide Kosoko has lived enough of life in Nollywood to know when a phone call is about to change everything. And apparently, a call from director and producer Funke Akindele is exactly that kind of call.
Speaking on the African A-List podcast, the veteran actor revealed that hearing from Akindele about a new project sends a wave of nerves through him. The admission is a striking one, coming from a man whose career spans decades and whose credits run longer than most people's entire filmographies.
What makes Akindele's projects so daunting for someone of Kosoko's experience? That is the question fans are already asking, and it hints at just how seriously the "A Tribe Called Judah" director pushes everyone around her, legends included.
