Yoruba AI Movie Asiri Ilu Awon Osu (Mystery of Osu Land) Expands To AfrolandTV, Cuts Prices

Mysterious Tech Studio (MTS), the Nigerian tech and film company behind Asiri Ilu Awon Osu (Mystery of Osu Land), has announced that the movie is expanding to the U.S.-based streaming platform AfrolandTV.

The studio has also slashed the viewing price on Docuth, its initial release platform.

This, according to the studio, is to improve accessibility for viewers facing budget constraints.

It will be recalled that MTS addressed early technical hurdles from the Docuth premiere, confirming that the app has been stabilised after high simultaneous traffic caused intermittent access issues.

Also, responding to criticisms over audience metrics, the filmmakers noted that app downloads do not reflect total viewership since Docuth is accessible via mobile, web, and TV.

As an independent studio without a traditional box-office release, MTS declined to share specific sales figures.

The announcement follows several clarifications regarding the film’s production and record-making claims.

MTS confirmed it submitted an official application to Guinness World Records in October 2025 but acknowledged that the attempt was not officially certified.
MTS has responded to critics comparing _Asiri Ilu Awon Osu (Mystery of Osu Land)_ with the earlier AI film _DreadClub: Vampire’s Verdict_, released in July 2024.

The comparison involves different categories of AI filmmaking. _DreadClub_ is an AI-generated animated film in a 2D anime style. _Asiri Ilu Awon Osu_ is a photorealistic AI feature film, using generated imagery alongside live-action human performances.

MTS has never claimed to be the first production to use artificial intelligence in filmmaking. Its claim is specific: _Asiri Ilu Awon Osu_ is the world’s first Yoruba photorealistic AI feature film. Not only the first Yoruba AI feature, but the world’s first. Yoruba is our language, photorealistic is our category.

AI filmmaking has different categories, including AI-themed, AI animation, stylised productions, and photorealistic filmmaking. These categories should be distinguished when comparing productions.

MTS also disputed critics’ claims that the film features only 30% AI content, explaining that the advertised 80% AI to 20% live-action ratio applies to the entire project—Parts 1 and 2 combined—which features 72 AI-generated scenes and 16 live-action scenes.

Urging critics to evaluate the full feature rather than promotional trailers, MTS stated its immediate focus remains on expanding the film’s global audience through its new distribution channels.
