Award-winning filmmaker Abel 'Mkurugenzi' Mutua is an angry man despite his movie, 'Click Click Bang,' being re-aired on Netflix.

Mkurugenzi is particularly upset with a local media house that claimed Netflix's decision to broadcast the film would result in a revenue of Sh8.8 million for him and his business partner, Phil Director.

Expressing his discontent, Mutua called out the media outlet for publishing inaccurate figures without verifying the information with him first. He demanded a retraction of the misleading article.

"Where did you get these figures from? Who has even talked to you about anything? Style up manze. You of all people should know better. Take down this nonsense, please," an angry Mkuru said.

Although some netizens found humour in the situation, implying that Mutua's reported earnings could be an enticing prospect for the Kenya Revenue Authority, <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/celebrities/not-my-grandfather-abel-mutua-shocks-daughter-mumbua-with-family-history/gt0mkwr">the filmmaker emphasised the need for accurate reporting.</a>
