Actress Refilwe Modiselle shoots her shot at Tyler Perry

Internationally renowned filmmaker Tyler Perry took to social media to tease the third instalment of his Why Did I Get Married, to a great reception from his audience. South African actress Refilwe Modiselle saw this as an opportunity to shoot her shot for a role in the critically acclaimed film.

Responding to Tyler’s tweet, Modiselle encouraged him to go ahead with the film and asked to be cast. She shared her accolades and stressed the importance of showing diversity. “Yes you should & can you explore casting me (I’ve won awards for best actress for an international short film), so you can show diversification & Inclusivity of a black narrative not often explored. With all due respect Sir @tylerperry,” she tweeted.
