Producer of the Dagrin's Biopic, Ope Banwo, has bought the car in which the late singer had the ill-fated accident that led to his death.
Speaking on why he decided to buy the car, Banwo said, "once you decide to do a biopic, there are some things you have to do to create as much realism of the real story as possible. There are some things you should not compromise as a producer if you really believe in doing your best for your audience."
The Nissan Maxima, with customised plate DAGRIN 03, which was already sold to scrap dealers in Owode Oniran, was bought for N400,000. When asked what he would do with the scrap metal after the production of the movie, Banwo said, "I am not sure right now. I may probably donate the car to the museum, since the Dagrin accident has become a national event."
In the movie, Trybson Dudukoko plays the late Dagrin while Doris Simeon, Rachael Oniga, Pa Kasumu, all play his love interest and parents respectively.
