Of interest, the film is a wholesale, unauthorized remake of a South African film called Skeem which was written and directed by Tim Greene in 2011. [6]

In 2017 Ghanain journalists reached out to Greene to check Asamoah's claim that he had received permission to adapt the movie, which he had not. Asamoah agreed to purchase the remake rights, but never followed through. No legal action was taken, as the cost of pursuing an intellectual property case against Asamoah would not be cost effective.

gollark: Okay, I reached a "satisfying" "compromise" with something: link URLs are converted into snake_case. When you actually visit the associated page, it looks it up in the database in Title Case. A page can then define a title override which affects how it actually displays.
