Following on the successful debut of Banana Island Ghost (B.I.G), Biola Alabi Media in collaboration with Skylar Pictures has embarked on a production with an all-star cast that is set to be Nollywood’s most glamorous and thrilling movie yet.

Starring music superstars Seyi Shay and Vector, Lara and the Beat is a coming of age movie about the young and beautiful Giwa sisters caught in the center of a financial scandal with their late parents’ Media Empire. The sisters are forced out of their privileged bubble, and must learn to build their own future and salvage their family’s past.

According to Biola Alabi, Founder and Managing Partner of Biola Alabi Media, “Lara and the Beat is a special project beyond what we accomplished with Banana Island Ghost. This is a movie with many layers and experiences for everyone. We and our partners are putting our best into this production. We want this production to be appealing to both our local and global audience.”

Lara and the Beat is a potpourri of music, fashion, romance, and comedy, it promises to be an instant favourite with huge global appeal. It stars several industry heavyweights including Somkele Idhlama, Chinedu Ikedieze (Aki), Bimbo Manuel, Chioma Akpotha, DJ Xclusive, Deyemi Okanlawon, Ademola Adedoyin, Shaffi Bello, Lala Akindoju, Wale Ojo, Akah Nnani, Uche Jombo and much more.

“When I first heard the story idea and the cast list including many industry heavyweights I respect so much, I immediately knew this was a production I wanted to direct and be a part of. Lara and the Beat has been such an interesting journey so far, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what we are creating here,” says Tosin Coker, Director of Lara and the Beat.

Lara and the Beat is currently in the production phase and set to hit the cinemas in April 2018.
