“Mati A Zazzau” is a sequel of the 2014 Kannywood hit comedy film, ‘Mati Da Lado’, a comical film about two brothers, Sadiq and Lado, who went about different villages pretending to be Islamic clerics and scamming people in the process.

“Mati A Zazzau” is a sequel of the first film and continues the story. The producers retained the comic elements and themes from the original version.

It tells the story of a comical and dubious traveller, Mati, who arrives Zaria and is up to no good.

Other acts in the film are Adam Zango, Rika Dawa, Umar Gombe, Alhassan Kwalle, Zahradeen Sani, Garba Mohammad Bado, Hamza Talle and Rahama.

It would be screened at Filmhouse Ado Bayero Mall, Kano, from February 7.
