This film features a robust cast that includes the renowned Nollywood actors Bimbo Manuel, Gabriel Afolayan, Sam Dede, Tana Adelana, Yemi Solade, Yemi Sodimu, Femi Branch, Adunni Ade, Funky Mallam, Dorathy Bachor.  Also starring young actors like Ruby Akubueze, Ojuolape Kayode, Fawaz (Ikorodu bois), and Oluwaseyi Ebiesuwa.
