Nollywood screen goddess, Ini Edo, has revealed why there is lot of nudity in her new series ‘Shanty Town’.
In a chat with Saturday Beats, she said, “There are a lot of people, male and female, even children going through these things (such as prostitution and assault shown in the movie). It is a fundamental problem that we are shedding light on, and people are bothered about nudity? How do you talk about prostitution in a realistic way and not show nudity?
It makes no sense but a greater part of the people understand. For the few who don’t, they will come around.
”
She also stated that while preparing for her role in the limited series, she had to go through rigorous training, especially for the fight scenes. “It stretched me. I had to do kick boxing, martial arts and taekwondo. I was blessed to work with some professionals, who were really good. They had the patience to take me through from the work-out to the art; in order to be precise with my punches.
It was fun and I miss it. I think it is something I would take out time to do for myself at some point. I have always been a fighter.”
