Singer Tiwa Savage has shared an intriguing detail about the genesis of her debut film, 'Water & Garri'.

During a pre-launch press conference at Livespot Entertainment Centre in Lagos on Thursday, May 9, 2024, Savage disclosed that the concept for the movie came to her in an unexpected moment of inebriation.

“I said this before, this is an idea I had in my head when I was drunk in my room, and when I brought the idea to my amazing team, they didn’t make me feel stupid. They actually just said this is a brilliant idea,” Tiwa said.

'Water & Garri' made its premiere on Prime Video on May 10 and has been met with anticipation and acclaim.

The narrative centers on Aisha, portrayed by Tiwa Savage, who, after years of separation, returns to her hometown only to discover it has undergone profound changes.

The film features a talented cast including Andrew Bunting as Kay, Mike Afolarin as Mide, and Jemima Osunde as Stephany.

Captured against the picturesque backdrop of Cape Coast, Ghana, 'Water & Garri' is brought to life under the direction of Meji Alabi.
