Jonathan Sothcott of Black & Blue Films, which executive-produced the movie, told trade website ScreenDaily: ‘Bulla is an utterly bonkers film that I think will become an instant cult phenomenon and Ricky Grover is a comedy genius.’

Taglienti of 4Digital added: ‘Ricky Grover has created a truly iconic character and we are thrilled to be unleashing him on an unsuspecting public.’

International rights to the film are currently being touted at Cannes.
