Popular filmmaker, Saheed Balogun is set to dazzle movie lovers with another scintillating film as he recently completed work on the production of a blockbuster film entitled ETI KETA )The Third Person).

The movie produced in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital and the United States of America is  supported by a lubricants company and was directed by Daniel Ademinokan, an AMA Awards Special Jury Recognition for Best New Director winner and Saheed Balogun.  Eti Keta stands to be another film from the producer of the first three and two casts movies on the African continent as he utilised local Ankara fabrics for all the cast in the movie that parades some of the best role interpreters in the Nigerian film industry.

The movie parades award winning actress, Kate Henshaw-Nutall, veteran actors, Prince Jide Kosoko, Bukky Ajayi, Kareem Adepoju (Baba Wande), Olumide Bakare, Professor Ayo Akin-wale and Kola Olai-ya. Others are Femi Ogedengbe, Saheed Balogun, Ronke Ojo (Oshodi Oke), Eniola Olaniyan, Akin Olaiya, Doris Simeon-Ademilokan, Sunkanmi Omobolanle, Shola Kosoko, Funke Adeshiyan, Allwell Ademola, Yinka Alabi, Alex Shabi and a host of others.

The movie is a modern story with different twists and turns. It is a story about impatience, man’s futile attempt at doing things outside of the divine will and the consequences involved. It is the story of human resources development and reward for hard work as set up by the management of a company bent on enhancing its workforce.

It is the story of two brothers and their aged mother. It dwells on brotherly love as shown by a brother and the urge to reciprocate by the other. It further showcases the tragic fate that can befall a man despite his good heart and intention to be all he can, it further showcases the consequences of loss of focus and inordinate ambition. Eti Keta, a top secret that another person must not be privy to, is a family story with great lessons for young people and the entire family.
