The multifaceted artist is known for producing captivating films that depict different aspects of culture and tradition.
By integrating traditional elements into contemporary storytelling, Adebayo seeks to maintain the relevance of cultural history and create a bridge between the past and future.
“I was fortunate to be close to a particular king, and it was what he went through that provoked the idea and concept of ‘Seven Doors’.
Many people see our kings as mini-gods, which they are, but they forget that they are humans with blood running in their veins too.
So, they(kings) face a lot before and after they get on the throne. And, that is what we displayed in the movie.”
Adebayo added that beyond the theme of culture, the acclaimed movie series is a “love story”.
“I also want to preach that love is above all. So, where we have a conflict between love and tradition, automatically it is love that wins,” he said.

Commenting on the kissing scene with his co-actor, Chioma Chukwuka, he stated, “I was just interpreting the role; getting the character analysis and interpreting it.
“For me though, the best scene was where they had to lay the chiefs on the floor and beat them. I was not even in that scene.”
