UK Entertainment Releases New Hausa Series Film “Fatake” for Global Audience

-UK Entertainment, a prominent film production company, has recently unveiled its latest project, a Hausa series film titled “Fatake,” aimed at reaching Hausa communities worldwide. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of UK Entertainment, Malam Umar Sani Lawal, also known as Umar UK, shed light on the company’s long-term strategy and the motivations behind the production during a media interview.

Umar UK emphasized that the team at UK Entertainment embarked on an extensive research and analysis process to break away from the conventional thinking prevailing in the industry. The result of their efforts is a groundbreaking film that not only caters to audiences in Kano and Nigeria but also encompasses various African countries, effectively capturing the essence of the Hausa culture.

The CEO further elaborated on the significance of incorporating the cultural values and dialects of different Hausa groups. To ensure authenticity and accuracy, the production team immersed themselves in each country they visited, engaging local artists, actors, and actresses who were able to deliver the required regional nuances and linguistic variations.

Moreover, Umar UK highlighted the driving factors behind Hausas leaving their native countries, which encompassed pursuits such as business ventures, educational pursuits, and even royal disputes. These factors formed the core narrative thread of the film, starting from the heartland of the Hausa people, Nigeria and Niger, then extending to Ghana, Niger, Mali, and Cameroon. Each location served as a backdrop for exploring the unique experiences of the Hausa diaspora, unveiling the diverse languages, accents, and dialects along the way.
