"I think it's the new commercial with Airtel, because, it's a lot different. It's a form of acting without dialogue. We call it pantomimic dramatization in our field of study," Afolayan said.

"So, it's quite challenging when you have to act without saying a word. It says a lot about you going into the zone of your character, so we have to play a lot with facial expressions and body language. So it was a bit tasking for me because I am used to acting with dialogue, and this comes in, and it feels different. I made up my mind to give it a shot and it worked out"

The actor also spoke on what he contributed to the advert aside his acting talent. According to Afolayan, he borrowed experiences from a couple of people who have been stranded. The "King Invincible" also shared his experience being stranded in Ghana in 2005.
