Jide Kosoko Once Doubted My Acting Ability – Saka

Nollywood actor Hafiz Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, has opened up about how veteran actor Jide Kosoko once doubted his ability to interpret a lawyer role. He recently had his say during an interview with African A-List, and fans have been reacting.

Recalling what happened on the set of a film project produced by Dele Odule and directed by Kosoko, Saka disclosed that while the producer trusted him for the role, the director was not convinced he could deliver as expected.

The moviestar added that he eventually proved himself when cameras rolled, prompting Kosoko to apologize after filming.

His words, “Mr Dele Odule wanted to make a film and he cast me in a role. Uncle Jide Kosoko was the director.

Uncle Jide asked Dele Odule if he had found someone to play the lawyer role. Dele Odule said he had found someone who will play it well. Uncle Jide asked again and Dele Odule pointed at me.

Uncle Jide saw me sitting there quietly and helpless. They argued for a while. Uncle Jide said no, but Dele insisted. Reluctantly, Uncle Jide agreed to let me do it.

When I got on set, I delivered. After we wrapped at night, Uncle Jide called for me. I went to his room and he asked if I was angry. He explained he didn’t know my capability because of how quietly I had been sitting.”
