Directed by Farouk Abisoye (TAMPAN), the film follows the gripping tale of Ogbedun, the unacknowledged son of the late Oba Agana, born from a secret affair with a palace maid. After spending years in exile, Ogbedun returns to his homeland amidst a power struggle for the throne. With the town thrown into chaos following the sudden death of a young monarch, rival families engage in a fierce battle for supremacy, sparking betrayal, riots, and the unyielding quest for justice.


“We are excited to partner with Astrocraft Productions to bring OGBEDUN to the big screen. This is a story that resonates with cultural significance, human emotion, and drama that will undoubtedly captivate viewers.”

Nollywood veteran Jide Awobona, known for his powerful performances in Lisabi: The Uprising and Jenifa’s Diary, leads the ensemble cast as Ogbedun. He is joined by an outstanding lineup of Nollywood stars, including Jide Kosoko, Antar Laniyan, Akin Lewis, Seyi Akinsola, Joke Muyiwa, Miriam Peters, and Babaseun Faseru, who all bring this high-stakes royal drama to life.
