The comedian and actor, Oluwatoyin Bayegun, popularly known as Woli Arole’s debut movie, The Call, is now on Netflix’s list.On July 27, 2020, Arole had a well-deserved success in his first outing in cinema, as he etched his name in the sands of time in Nigerian filmmaking industry.

Aside from the film hitting Netflix’s list within three days of release, it is already topping charts on the platform, as well as surpassing all expectations at the box office.

The movie, which has enjoyed rave reviews, because of the acting, sound and rich cinematographic language, tells the tale of a never-do-well guy and his group of like-minded friends and their quest to become rich.

With a stellar cast that includes, Hafeez Oyetoro (Saka), Samuel Ajibola (Spiff), Kevin Ikeduba, Damilare Osundare (Asiricomedy), and production crew of James Abinibi, Olojede Felix and Taiwo Adeleye, the work speaks for itself as a good offering.
