The next one to come out is “Satan’s Holiday”, the title tells you it’s something very strong, i need to put in more money, when I lay hands on that money I will pop into that movie and release and then we can tell the difference between the men and the boys “ The popular film producer disclosed.
Diabolo man added he would need a budget not less than 70, 000 Cedis to execute a good movie.
“Of course! If I want to make a good movie now I won’t do anything less than 70,000 Ghana Cedis, but if I put in so much money and do something professional, how can I recoup my cost? So I tell myself hey meerhhnnn let’s do the series, let’s do the tv and wait for the enabling environment for us to probably start working on something," he observed.
