Content creator and film producer Abel Mutua has lashed at a local media house for publishing for what he insinuates is an innacuracy regarding his 2020 film, ‘Click Click Bang.’
The comedian took to his Instagram stories to call out NTV after the station, through a post on their social media, claimed that Mutua and his business partner Philip ‘Phil’ Karanja had earned an impressive remuneration of $60, 000 (approximately Sh. 8.8 million) from the sale of the film to monster streaming platform, Nairobi. “Where did you get these figures from? Who has even talked to you about anything? Style up manze. You of all people should know better,” He wrote, demanding that they pull down the piece.
In the post, the media house had claimed to have received the news from veteran film producer Reuben Odanga, synonymous with popular productions like ‘Selina’ and ‘Kina.’
‘Click Click Bang’ is the duo’s most successful project to date, having generated revenue amounting to Sh. 9 million, hence earning the duo profits amounting to Sh. 2 million, after accounting for production and marketing costs amounting to Sh. 7 million.
The film earned them two Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (2023) accolades in the Best Movie (East Africa) and Best Indigenous Language (Swahili) categories.
