Originally, I wanted to make a series but I shopped it and kept telling people that this movie would be bigger than Game of Thrones. Eventually, Netflix told me to make a movie first since I believed in the project that much and if it became a success, we\u2019d develop a series,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, Netflix is the one urging me to start making the series. I knew we made a great film and that it\u2019d start conversations, but I didn\u2019t know it\u2019d do as well as it has done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actor also downplayed the decision of the Nigeria Official Selection Committee (NOSC) not to pick the movie for the 2023 Oscars despite its success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t even care about it anymore. I don\u2019t understand the decision and quite a number of the guys in there are people I\u2019d call friends. For the second year running, they\u2019re saying no film from Nigeria deserves to be presented \u2013 it makes no sense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I\u2019m over it because if An\u00edk\u00fal\u00e1p\u00f3 wasn\u2019t successful, they\u2019d have said it wasn\u2019t picked because of that reason.
