The trailer is already generating so much interest on Youtube.The movie is due for release in April 2012.Tayo also told gistmaster that the movie is a masterpiece. "For me, I won't manage quality,i won't even think less, I go for the best" she said with confidence
She explained that "there are some producers who will not give you a chance as an actress if you are not ready to sleep your way, the issue of sexual harrassment in the industry is ready just that most people shy away from talking about it"
Explaining further, Tayo said she would have taken acting as serious stuff about ten years ago but she had to walk out because of demands by some producers and actors to have her back for a role. Now that she can do her own movie and get good scripts, she is ready to step up her game without having to sleep with anyone just for a role.
Interestingly, i decided to ask her about her alleged romance with popular singer Olu Maintain, she denied it saying that they are only friends. I have not even seen him for sometime. People have been saying it that we are dating but its not true.
