Popular actor and filmmaker, Mike Ezuruonye has produced a new flick after the success of his film, ‘Brother Jekwu’. This time, he is doing comedy with a stern message for couples and lovers. His latest work, ‘Divorce Not Allowed’, started showing in cinemas this week.
Ezuronye opens up on the inspiration behind the movie. According to him, our world continues to witness incessant breakups, divorce and unhappy marriages, because people have stopped fighting for their marriages.
“Marriages continue to crash today because many people give up too easily on their marriages,” Ezuruonye said.
“People have simply stopped fighting for their marriages and when you fail to fight for what you believe in, you have lost the fight already. That’s because you didn’t even make the effort. I made the movie ‘Divorce Not Allowed’ because I want people to start fighting for their marriages again in order for us to have a better world. Imagine if all married couples, regardless of their challenges decide that whatever the cost, they would make their marriage work, would divorce still be as rampant as it is today? This is the exact message we hope this movie will pass across even as it’s served in comedy.”
‘Divorce Not Allowed’ centres on issues young couples face in marriage and how their resolutions sometimes threaten to shake the foundation of their love. The comedy-drama takes you on a hilarious journey through the minds of three married men who sometimes wish life could go back to when they were single and free.
The hilarious flick features stars like Bolanle Ninalowo, Iyabo Ojo, Angela Okorie, Eniola Badmus, Mike Ezuruonye and others.
