In a video, the actor shared the remarkable tale of how he managed to secure the funds for the project without resorting to loans or conventional financing methods.
During the height of the COVID-19 lockdown, when many in the entertainment industry were grappling with uncertainty, Chatta turned to a unique opportunity that would change his financial trajectory.
He began offering personalized shout-outs, a service that quickly gained popularity among fans and well-wishers. Collaborating with fellow actor Tayo Sobola, Chatta capitalized on the high demand for these shout-outs, earning approximately N300,000 for each one.
As the requests poured in, Chatta found himself accumulating a substantial amount of money, far beyond his initial expectations. This unexpected windfall became the foundation for the grand film village that has now become the talk of the town. Despite his success, Chatta admitted that before this financial breakthrough, he was struggling with several incomplete property projects and had little to no savings to fall back on.
One such project, a property stalled at the lintel level, had left him in a state of financial distress, prompting him to seek divine intervention. Chatta revealed that he had been fervently praying for a solution, and the answer came in the form of this unexpected income stream during a time of global crisis.
Expressing his deep gratitude, Chatta described the experience as nothing short of miraculous. He credited his success to the timely and divine assistance he received, which allowed him to bring his vision of the film village to life.
The project has since become a symbol of perseverance and faith.
