The actor is overjoyed that Mzansi liked it so much and compared the feeling to that of finally asking out the girl you like and getting a 'yes'.

TimesLIVE reports that Kagiso came up with the story of Losing Lerato when he was thinking about his father's search for his granddad.

"Growing up I always knew my dad was searching for his dad. Seeing him eventually find him and witnessing him weep on his grave moved me. We found out that my grandfather knew where my dad and his brothers were but didn't look for them. Hence I came up with the concept of a father's love for his child and how he was willing to do anything to keep his child."

Losing Lerato is described as a beautiful story of how a young man has to take matters into his own hands after her mother separated them.

For Kagiso, acting beside his daughter was an amazing experience.

"Acting in the movie alongside my daughter was amazing. I just realised how big she has gotten and she really played the role very well."

Although the film has been a huge success so far, many Botswana fans are sad that they won't get to see the film yet.

Briefly.co.za reported earlier that the film won't be aired there due to red tape.
