“Most of our films lack originality. Omotola is the one who was supposed to bathe naked under the waterfalls, but we couldn’t really achieve that,” Amodu revealed in a chat with Phenomenal.

When asked about the cost of featuring Omotola in the movie, the producer didn't hit the nail on the head, but said he chose the actress because she was an ambassador of peace.

“One thing is sure: if you have the right cast, you have a good film. Because I have an important message to pass, I have to go for actors that people will like to watch, those they can easily connect to and listen to. I, for instance, see Omotola as an ambassador of peace. So, if I am writing about peace, it is sensible for me to think in her direction. I also need someone who would be able to interpret the role well. When she is abducted, she should be able to tell her abductors some truth,” he said. The movie, Shadow Parties is about a communal clash that snowballs into a national quagmire, throwing up suspicion, hatred, killings, arson, kidnapping and other vices.
