Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe Damijo, simply known as RMD, has applauded his younger colleague, Timini Egbuson, as he breaks Nollywood box office records.
Earlier, Hitgist reported that Timini Egbuson shattered records with his cinema debut, Reel Love.
His project grossed over ninety-nine million naira at the box office. The film broke records of the Highest Opening Weekend for a first-timer, the 4th Highest Grossing Opening Weekend of all Time, and Nollywood’s Strongest Opening for Valentine, among others.
Sharing photos of Timini Egbuson on his Instagram page, RMD acknowledged him as his son and expressed how proud he was of his achievements.
He identified him as one of Africa’s most hardworking and talented young actors.
He proudly endorsed his project and urged everyone to troop out and support him.
“This is Timini …
An actor,
My son, in whom I am well pleased.
Probably the hardest-working and most uber-talented young actor in Africa today.
He just did over 90M at the box office for his film’s opening weekend and counting!
But while he’s out here making history, he’s also caught up in Real Love or Reel Love, so he claims. With @bimboademoye an actress and a comic no less. (One I might just be crushing on myself, but that’s a story for another day… @_timini and I may have to duel for her the old way some day soon)
Reel Love is still showing in cinemas nationwide. Go show him more love at the cinemas!”
