His studio acquired the rights to the Aki and Pawpaw brand back in 2021 and produced a remake of the Aki And Pawpaw movie which was released in the same year. The movie opened with ₦30 million before landing a licensing deal with Netflix.
Ikedieze and Iheme first took on the Aki and Pawpaw roles in the 2002 Aki Na Ukwa movie.
Over 20 years later, they have become Nollywood household names, hilarious memes, and Nigerian pop culture icons.
