While interacting with the media at the red carpet, RMD described the Radio Voice as the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.

“I don’t want to reveal everything about it, It’s a movie everyone needs to watch,” the veteran actor averred.
The Nollywood icon also spoke on why he is venturing into movie production at this time, saying: “It’s time when it’s time, you know. I’ve produced before but this is the first time in the new era, so to speak.”
