According to  reports, our very own Nigerian football legend Austin JJ Okocha is currently producing a movie about reggae star Majek Fashek.
The movie’s screen play is reportedly written by Charles Novia, and features Fracis Duru as Majek Fasek, Sam Dede, Stella Damascus and other top Nollywood actors.
However,movie producer Charles Novia has confirmed this report. He said that he movie is shooting on 35mm and took about 3 years to fine-tune. It is presently at its pre-production stage, after which the crew will travel to New York in October to shoot the America scene, which is the major part of the film.
 
It was also gathered that Nollywood actor, Francis Duru is undergoing guitar lessons and extensive study of Majek's character for the past eight months to fit the role.
 
This is what Francis had to say about Majek:
 
"Whatever his travails and the public perception of him, Majek still remain a world class material, who has promoted so much interest world wide with his type of genre of music, So a movie of his life and career has to meet a world class”.
