Pastor Laju Iren, wife of the General overseer of the Celebration Church International, Pastor Emmanuel Iren is set to release a new feature film, Danfo and The Rose.

The new feature film boasts an all-star cast including Sam Dede, Adunni Ade, Sunshine Rosman, Akah Nnani, Seun Ajayi, Amanda Dara, and Olu ‘SLK’ Salako, Michael Dappa among others.

In a recent statement to journalists, Pastor Laju Iren, Executive Producer of Laju Iren Films said, “Even though the cameras have just begun to roll, Danfo and The Rose has been several months in the making. We are convinced without a doubt, that we are making a film that everyone would love; an incredible story, told by the most talented cast and crew who have worked and continue to work diligently to give this film the excellence it deserves.’’

Based in Lagos Nigeria, the new film will be directed by the award-winning Michael ‘AMA Psalmist’ Akinrogunde, who directed Iren’s last feature, Loving Amanda, which went ahead to top the charts after its release on Amazon’s Prime Video when the platform launched in Nigeria last year.

‘’I have a personal bias for the story of Danfo and The Rose, it truly is one of the most exciting scripts I’ve read in my career. Moreso, I’m looking forward to be working yet again with Laju Iren Films to creatively execute such a brilliant vision.”

Danfo and The Rose is a young adult love story about a young woman’s effort to follow her dreams against the backdrop of a fresh canvas of street life in Lagos while covering a wide range of social impact themes such as child welfare, children’s education, drug abuse and the family unit.

Pastor Iren also runs an organisation called Have You Eaten; which saves, feeds and empowers the less privileged in society, including but not limited to victims of terrorist attacks in northern Nigeria.
