Before Love Lockdown, we had tried working together on a modelling gig that didn’t quite come together.
But I kept her in mind for future opportunities When I read script, she was one of the 1st actors I thought of.
Zainab, the role she auditioned for, is a stunning 26-year-old—bold & effortlessly sensual lady who is the life of the party.
For this role, We needed more than just an actress. We needed someone with presence!... Because of the class & genre of the film we were making—and since the story revolves around just 3 characters—we also needed actors who could own the screen, carry the film, and command attention.
Detola had all these qualities. But first, she had to prove she was the one On audition day, she was one of the first to arrive.
And from the moment she stepped into the room, we knew... Then she started reading, and it was clear—she wasn’t just playing Zainab.
She was Zainab Catch Detola Jones like you’ve never seen her before in Love Lockdown, now showing in cinemas nationwide.
Go watch and see why she was the perfect choice!
