Kunle Afolayan’s daughter Eyiyemi opens up on relationship with dad

Actress Eyiyemi Afolayan, daughter of filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, has discussed her working relationship with her father on the set of Anikulapo.

Eyiyemi, who plays Princess Omowunmi, told reporters on the red carpet of Anikulapo: Rise of the Spectre’s premiere on Sunday that she had no tension working alongside Kunle.

“My and dad I are friends, so there was no tension. The only tension I possibly felt was I don’t want to let my dad down, there are people here, let them know that in this family, it is inborn. Aside that, we would read the script together, we would rehearse together. If I am having a cold, we would make tea. He made it really seamless and easy for me. I was comfortable on set,” she said.

Omawunmi, daughter of the king, fell in love with Saro, cloth weaver on the latter’s first visit to the palace.

Unfortunately for the princess, Saro had already fallen in love with the king’s youngest wife, Queen Arolake and they both began an affair.

Omawunmi discovered the affair and their plan to elope, she informed her mother who reported the matter to the king.

Eyiyemi also revealed that her character will not encounter Saro or Arolake in Anikulapo: Rise of the Spectre.
