The slogan, ‘The show must go on’, appears to be the driving force behind seasoned actor, Kayode Odumosu’s resolve to return to the entertainment scene soon. After recovering from a challenging bout with biventricular heart failure – an ailment that seriously affected his heart and lungs – last February, Odumosu, aka Pa Kasumu, is determined to keep ‘marching on’ to relevance.
Having missed the thrills that come with being on a movie set, the 61-year-old actor whose last production is the Optima Studio’s drama series, Aduke Hotel, is warming up to go back to his first love: acting.
However, he says, after much prodding from our correspondent, that he still needs some form of assistance. This time, it has nothing to do with his health.
He says,
“I have shot one movie that is still in post-production for many years now because I do not have the balance to pay up the editing. I need about N700,000, to make this dream a reality.
“I hope to shoot an action movie very soon by the grace of God. It was written by me, I wrote the script in 1995 but I will still modify it to fit into the realities of today. But the truth is that the cost has tripled since that time. I produced my last movie entitled Madaru, in 1994, which starred the likes of Jide Kosoko and Yinka Quadri.”
