We are at the advanced stages of roping in a couple of big names, who I can't mention right now until the deal is signed.  It is in this movie that I have made it a condition that up and coming Batswana actors like one Advent Monyatsiwa, Donald Molosi and others be given speaking roles, and a chance to shine on the big screen," he said.  Before the martial arts project, he said he will shoot his third film entitled Ironic.  The film is a psychological thriller about a woman who kills her boyfriend thinking he was a crazed stalker.
