Recall that on shooting the movie, the producers were attacked  for daring to produce the expository movie.

In a chat with HVP then, Face Onu said, since they shot the movie, they have been receiving a lot of backlash from people for daring to venture into the den of lions.  According to her, the movie which starred the likes of Liz Benson, Kate Henshaw, IK Ogbonna, Paul Obazele  amongst other Nollywood greats  is not one that is out to  promote lesbianism or gay. Rather, “The movie is sending a strong message to parents to pay attention to their wards.” Face said, in as much as they tried to be careful not to ignite  negative responses, the story remains one that many movie producers avoid to explore in their movies. “Busted” will  bring to the fore the evil  associated with the practice of same-sex-marriage which alien to African society,” she said.  The gripping movie reveals the intrigues of a gay couple’s love story. It tells the story of Queen Edwards, a girl born into a decent home where her father’s strict nature as well as her mother’s ignorance led her into the arms of a maid who lured her into lesbianism.
