Ajalara is the story of a powerful lady, Ajalara, who is both human and an animal. She bestrode the forest at night, making lives difficult for hunters, killing and maiming some of them. She destroys crops and cripples the economy of the town.

The king, Towobola went into the forest to confront Ajalara, after an epic battle, the king and Ajalara reached a part to marry each other with the hope that Ajalara would bear male children as all kids borne for the kings are females.

We should not be known for only small budget movies and small-productions.

We can do bigger productions that can sit on the same tables with some of the best works ever produced from any part of Nollywood.

We want to raise the bar, tell a story that is daring and put a noticeable mark on the Nollywood map.

People will like this movie, they will be proud of Nollywood as we are not holding anything back. We take everything’ she said.
