The recently released trailer for upcoming film 'Concussion,' which stars Will Smith as Nigerian-born forensic neuropathologist Bennet Omalu is a controversial one on social media.
The trailer features Smith trying out the Nigerian accent, which has been described as 'fake' by some Nigerians on Twitter.
While some Nigerians are of the opinion that Chinwetel Ejiofor, Segun Arinze or Jim Iyke would have been a better choice, others think Smith is the perfect cast.
