Temi Otedola Gets Candid About the Grit and Glory Behind Ms Kanyin
If you thought Ms Kanyin was intense to watch, imagine filming it. Temi Otedola is peeling back the curtain on her latest role, and it turns out the psychological thriller was just as wild behind the scenes as it was on screen.
The film, now sitting at the top spot on Prime Video, follows Amara—a top student who makes a desperate choice that awakens something terrifying. And now, Temi is giving fans a deeper look into the chaos, creativity, and sheer determination it took to bring the story to life.
On her YouTube channel, she dropped a behind-the-scenes documentary that takes you straight to the heart of the action: long, sleepless nights, intense stunt rehearsals, emotional breakdowns, and, yes, mosquito warfare. It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s full of those quiet, powerful moments that never make it to the final cut.
The journey began in the summer of 2023, when the cast and crew transformed Adesoye College in Offa into their personal horror movie set. “We started this project two years ago!!” Temi shared on Instagram, and it’s clear every frame is packed with that energy and commitment.
For Temi, playing Amara wasn’t just another acting gig—it was a full-body experience. She describes becoming “completely nocturnal,” filming through the night, pushing her limits physically and emotionally, and walking away with a few bruises (and a mosquito vendetta).
But more than anything, she walked away with pride.
“This was the most challenging shoot I’ve ever done,” she said. “But it’s also the one I’m most proud of. We poured so much of ourselves into this.”
And it shows. Ms Kanyin isn’t just a thriller—it’s a story rooted in culture, fear, and that dark corner of decision-making we all relate to. It’s eerie, smart, and deeply Nigerian in the best way.
If you haven’t seen it yet, now’s the time. And once you do, head over to Temi’s channel to see how it all came together—sweat, stunts, and all.
Oh, and Temi’s got a question: “What do you really think of Amara?”
Go watch. Then drop your thoughts.
