645

Afrobeats sensation Burna Boy is venturing into filmmaking with an unexpected move. Black Mic Mac, a content company known for focusing on African and Middle Eastern talent, has announced that Burna Boy will serve as an executive producer for their upcoming thriller, “3 Cold Dishes.”

Directed by Asurf Oluseyi and penned by Tomi Adesina, “3 Cold Dishes” tells the gripping tale of three teenagers who, after being victims of sex trafficking, reunite thirteen years later to seek vengeance. Set across Nigeria, the Republic of Benin, and Côte d’Ivoire, the film is a multilingual production featuring dialogue in French, Yoruba, and English. Co-produced by Black Mic Mac, Ifind, Alma Prods., Asurf Films, and Martian Network, the project marks a significant collaboration within the industry.

Burna Boy’s involvement as an executive producer through his company Spaceship Films, which he co-founded with his mother, Bose Ogulu, underscores his commitment to championing African storytelling globally. Asurf describes “3 Cold Dishes” as a powerful testament to the resilience of its characters and a groundbreaking example of pan-African cinema, achieved through immense dedication and effort.

The film boasts a talented cast including renowned Nollywood actors such as Osas Ighodaro, Wale Ojo, Femi Jacobs, Ruby Akubueze, Brutus Richards, and Greg Ojefua, alongside actors from Ivory Coast and Senegal. With a star-studded soundtrack potentially featuring Angelique Kidjo, Burna Boy, Asa, Tems, Brymo, Johnny Drille, and Ayra Starr, “3 Cold Dishes” promises to captivate audiences with its riveting narrative and diverse talent.
