Anikulapo would be bigger than Game of Thrones -Kunle Afolayan says

Nigerian film-maker, Kunle Afolayan has disclosed that he once told people that ‘Anikulapo’, his chart-topping movie, would be bigger than ‘Game of Thrones’.

‘Game of Thrones’, the American fantasy drama TV series, was produced by Home Box Office (HBO).

It premiered on HBO in the United States on April 17, 2011, and concluded in May 2019, with 73 episodes broadcast over eight seasons.

The hit project enjoyed widespread reception across the globe and dominated discussions among movie lovers for years.

Afolayan in an interview with the Guardian UK spoke on the production of ‘Anikulapo’ and the success enjoyed since it was released.

The filmmaker said he originally wanted to make the movie a series but Netflix told him to make a movie first and see if it succeeds before putting out a series.
