Pulse List :  5 reasons to watch "King Invincible"

It is not everyday you get to see an epic movie in the cinema. It's also not everyday a filmmaker decides to make his directorial debut with an epic movie.

On January 6, 2017, Femi Adisa's directorial debut, "King Invincible" made its debut in cinemas, kicking off the cinema year for Nollywood.

With the posters and trailers, you probably have grasped that this is unlike most Nollywood you have seen in the cinema. While it tells a love story, it is an epic movie, and it is different.

The movie stars talented actors including Gabriel Afolayan, Tope Tedela, Omowunmi Dada, Mike Adbul, Toyin Alausa, Bimbo Manuel, Segun Dada and more.

Pulse Movies have put up five reasons why you should see the movie.

1. Tope Tedela

The talented Tedela waltzed into the Nigerian film industry and became popular for his role in "A Mile from Home," a role which earned him an Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award in 2014.

He has since then taken up and perfectly interpreted several distinct roles with flying colours, and "King Invincible" is no different.

In the epic movie, the actor comes on screen with a gravity and charisma so suitable for his character Taari.
