Legacy of Jagun Jagun
The first Jagun Jagun, released on Netflix and directed by Tope’s elder brother Femi Adebayo, was a groundbreaking success. The film amassed over 2.1 million views and ranked 5th on the Non-English Netflix Charts, becoming a Top 10 movie in 17 countries.
In an earlier interview, Femi revealed that he sold his properties to fund the ambitious project, which he described as a multi-billion-naira investment. He explained that he wanted to avoid seeking financial assistance, emphasizing his dedication to the craft.
The movie won the Best Indigenous Language award at the 10th Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) in May 2024. Femi Adebayo, while receiving the award, dedicated it to God, his production team, and fans. Recently, Jagun Jagun received seven nominations at the 2024 Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA), further cementing its legacy as a cinematic masterpiece.
