Kunle Afolayan searching for perfect leading man in new film

Kunle Afolayan's new film "Phone Swap" is inching closer and closer to being made. The actor/director of 2009's mega hit "Figurine" is said to be finally satisfied with the latest draft of the script and is ready to start shooting as soon as he can find his leading man.


Sources say the director has apparently made a decision on the lead female but is not revealing the name yet. "Phone Swap" is a romantic comedy penned by Kemi Adesoye who also wrote Figurine.

Kunle's casting team presented the names of Desmond Elliot, Saheed Balogun, Joseph Benjamin, and Jim Iyke and it is now the director's job to make the final decision.  Afolayan is said to be searching for a serious minded actor willing to create a memorable character. He has apparently approached several big names to play other juicy roles in the film.
