Son of Iron premieres amidst pomp and glee at VIVA cinema

The much-anticipated Nollywood action-drama, ‘Son of Iron,’ debuted in spectacular fashion as industry heavyweights, celebrities, and fans gathered for its grand premiere on November 14 at the VIVA Cinema, Jara Mall, Ikeja.

‘Son of Iron’ follows the gripping story of Kunle Ogundele, a gifted teenager from a Lagos suburb with an extraordinary ability to repair broken toys and electronics.

The movie also promises to explore the relationship between a grandfather and his grandson, opening a conversation about the importance of learning about your ancestors and the lives of the people before you.

‘Son of Iron’ not only tells the tale of a young man who faces his deepest fears, but also of one who has to reconcile his dreams with the path set out for him by his father.

Despite his natural brilliance and growing passion for technical work, Kunle struggles under the weight of his father’s expectations.

His father, Rotimi Ogundele, a man haunted by an unfulfilled dream of becoming a lawyer, pressures Kunle to pursue the legal profession — a path inspired by Rotimi’s deep admiration for his former mentor, Barrister John Fakutiju.

The film explores the emotional clash between parental aspirations and a child’s authentic purpose, weaving a narrative of identity, destiny, and the courage to embrace one’s unique gifts.

Directed by Tunde Olaoye, the movie brings together an exceptional cast, including Amb. Ralph Niyi, Deborah Anugwa, Aykardo Agbor, Biola Adebayo, Debo “Mr Macaroni” Adedayo, Jide Kosoko, Jude Chukwuka, Kolade Oyedipe, Miracle Gabriel, Saeed Muhammed, Sola Sobowale, Tina Mba, Awoyemi “Arugba,” and Abiola Adebayo.
