Kemi Adetiba's Trailer for 'King of Boys' Will Leave You Filled with Suspense

Nigerian filmmaker Kemi Adetiba continues to shake the tables of Nollywood with her second feature film, King of Boys.

The trailer for the highly anticipated action-thriller shows a different side of Adetiba's storytelling chops after the success of her debut feature, The Wedding Party, and is sure to leave you full of suspense.

The film tells the story of Alhaja Eniola Salami, a businesswoman and philanthropist with a checkered past and a promising political future.


The synopsis continues:

She is a pillar of society — loved by many, feared by most, and truly known by a select few. As her political ambitions see her outgrowing the underworld connections responsible for her considerable wealth, she's drawn into a power struggle that threatens everything she holds dear. To come out of this on top, she will need every ounce of the cunning, ruthlessness, and strategy that took her to the top, as well as the loyalty of those closest to her. But who can she really trust?

Her star-studded cast includes Sola Sobowale, Remilekun "Reminisce" Safaru, Adesua Etomi, Paul Sambo, illBLISS, Akin Lewis, Toni Tones, Demola Adedoyin, Osas Ajibade, Sharon Ooja and Jide Kosoko.

Here's the trailer below.

Adetiba's King of Boys is set to land in theaters on October 26. For more information about the film, check out the website here.
