It was a four-in-one celebration for the maverick filmmaker, actor and producer, Kunle Afolayan, on Thursday, 30 September 2021.

First, it was the actor’s 47th birthday.

Secondly, his latest movie, Swallow, a Netflix original, premiered exclusively to invited guests.

Thirdly, KAP Cinema”, a 117 regular seater structure with 6 VIP seater provisions perfect for private film screenings, movie premieres, corporate events, stage plays, conferences and brand launches” was unveiled.

And last but not the least, KAP Film and Television Academy was also opened to the public.
