Kani, who played the role of King T'chaka, the father of 'Black Panther', shared some of his fondest memories, including how when he walked on set, Boseman said 'Unjani baba' and from that moment they had a father-son relationship.
He mentioned that he admired Boseman for his portrayal of black icons throughout his career and that Chadwick was very aware that it was an Africa moment.
Although they were only playing characters in a movie, it's clear that Kani and Boseman shared a much deeper connection.
