Nollywood actor Jide Awobona has called out popular film director and screenwriter, Abiodun Jimoh popularly known as Abey Jomo over his epic transformation for a movie role.

The talented actor, who is playing a lead role in the movie, Inspector Jero was placed on a heavy strict diet for his character.

Sharing a screenshot of his chat with the director, Jide was told to start fasting and avoid eating till sunset; stop drinking till 7 and start eating a slice of watermelon in the morning.

From the chat, the director wanted him to have sunken eyes and a hungry look. A bewildered Jide expressed shock over the strict rules as he took to his Instagram to cry for help.

Questioning what he had done to him, he lamented over the rules because he wanted to make a movie.
