Fans of the film have been eagerly anticipating a sequel for many years, and Kelani's recent announcement has sparked a wave of excitement and speculation online.

His work has earned him numerous awards and accolades, and he is considered a pioneer in the Nigerian film industry.
With the announcement of 'Saworoide 2,' it seems that Kelani is once again pushing the boundaries of Nigerian cinema and exploring new avenues for storytelling and artistic expression. Fans of the original film will no doubt be eagerly awaiting further news about the project and the chance to revisit the world of Jogbo once again.
