Expectations…
The Set Up 2 movie is expected to be one of the highest grossing Nollywood 2022 movies.

Although The first Set Up grossed #53M and is now the 47th Highest Grossing Nollywood movie. Hopefully, The Set Up 2 movie can definitely beat it.
Based on Storyline, it promises to be great, but the action and stunts promise to be greater and offer the spice of the movie
