Babatunde Omidina, the popular actor known as Baba Suwe is abroad undergoing treatment for his celebrated illness.

Societynow.ng’s digs revealed that there is a plot behind the scene to use the ill health saga to re-launch his career.

Industry sources claim that attempts to shoot movies around his health saga are already afoot.

Societynow.ng learned that the plot is two-fold.

‘’There are those looking at putting together a production about his real-life experience, a documentary of a sort. The production will be made up of videos of Baba Suwe before and during his treatment garnished with reports and interviews with those close to Baba Suwe. And there are those lobbying to make a movie out of his experience as well as those who want to cash in on his new found popularity to market their own movies by featuring him in their productions’’ a source disclosed.

Societynow.ng learned that embattled Baba Suwe is keen to embrace all strategies that will give him another lifeline in the movie industry.

The once upon a time a popular actor was knocked out of his perch as a leading comic actor via the conspiracy of the scandals of his arrest for alleged drug trafficking – he was found innocent – and the controversies surrounding the death of his wife, Modinat.

The emergence of more versatile and younger actors only served as the final push that kicked him into oblivion until his ill health saga just returned him back to public consciousness.
