Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Toyin Abraham's casting brought massive Nollywood star power, bridging mainstream appeal with indie director Asurf Oluseyi's arthouse sensibilities. The film sparked debates about how Nigerian cinema portrays widowers versus widows.
The title 'Kasanova' deliberately misspells Casanova to emphasize Femi's performative rather than authentic romantic prowess — he's playing a role he never learned properly.
