AFOLARIN’S CREATIVE FULFILLING EXPERIENCE WITH ‘HOUSE OF GA’Á’
In an exclusive interview with Pulse Nigeria, Mike Afolarin, a talented actor, spoke about his recent role in the biopic ‘House of Ga’a’, a project that challenged him creatively.
Known for his roles in ‘Ajosépo’, ‘Soôle’, ‘Ajuwaya’, ‘Freedom Way’, and the Netflix series, ‘Far From Home’, Afolarin expressed his intrigue for being involved in a project that allowed him to grow on a deeper level. "The fact that this was different from anything I have done before was what made me intrigued. To get involved on a deeper level and find myself. This is the most creative fulfilling journey that I have ever been on as a performer," he said.
Revealing his experience working on ‘House of Ga’a’, Afolarin spoke about rehearsing in Yoruba midway into production, something he found challenging despite his struggles with the language. "When we did the read, I wasn’t sure if we were supposed to prepare for this in English or Yoruba and, somewhere in between, we were asked to switch to Yoruba and I was shocked. A couple of people struggled with it at first but that’s what made me want to get involved and find the root of the character I was playing," he said.
‘House of Ga’a’ tells the gripping tale of a power-hungry political figure, Ga’a, who executes a brutal betrayal of a series of kings in 18th-century Oyo Empire. Directed by Bolanle Austen-Peters, the biopic features an impressive cast, including Femi Branch, Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, Seun Akindele, Mike Afolarin, and many more.
In our previous article, we reported that ‘House of Ga’a’ has become the most-watched film on Netflix Nigeria. The highly acclaimed biopic is a testament to Afolarin’s talent as a performer and his ability to seamlessly navigate complex characters.
