Tiwa Savage Speaks About Her Moments In “Water And Garri” Film,Her Love For Her Role

Singer Tiwa Savage has spoken about her intimate moment in debut film, ‘Water and Garri’, with emphasis on what she had to do to stay in character. 

In a new interview with BET, Tiwa Savage spoke about the ending, the love scenes and if she’ll be doing future films.

Speaking on what attracted her to the ‘Water and Garri’ script, Tiwa Savage said: “I love the story. I love the story of coming back. I love the story of finding yourself again.

“It’s not such a happy ending, but then, in life you don’t always have happy endings. So, I loved that. And then I loved that it had a love twist to it. All of those elements were just very beautiful to me.“

Speaking about the spicy scenes, how sometimes she forgot she and co-star were not really dating, She said: “I have a love interest in this movie and sometimes, if we’re like on set, I’d have to remember “that is not your boyfriend Tiwa” [laughs]. You need to calm down. And then my real-life boyfriend at the time would come on set and I would be like “what is he doing here?” [laughs]. We’re not together anymore though, so he can hear this.

“The first day on set I had my kissing scene. I’m glad it was my first day because I just went right into it. I remember in my dressing room, I brushed my teeth like five, six times because I was like I needed to represent. But, he was very lovely. All of the cast was. They were really really nice.”

Asked if she’ll be doing more films following Water and Garri, Tiwa Savage said: “Listen, I’ve told everyone, film cheques are good. So, I’ve got like ten scripts in my head. I have other stories I’m working on.”
