According to Daily Mail reports, there is currently a new movie about Mersa's grandfather, Bob Marley in the works.
Kingsley Ben-Adir is set to portray the legendary singer in the movie, which will be helmed by King Richard director Reinaldo Marcus Green and produced by Rita Marley, and her and Bob's son Ziggy, and daughter Cedella Marley.
Lashana Lynch - the No Time To Die star who portrayed MI6 agent Nomi in the James Bond epic - will play Rita, Bob Marley's widow.
Marley has been reported to have been a tough parent by one of his children, Ziggy, who said his father was painfully aware of the "danger" of life in Jamaica.
He said: "Growing up in Jamaica in the 1970s could be dangerous. There were guns everywhere. But as a kid the danger felt exciting. Every day was an adventure. I did not understand the seriousness of the situation.
"There were times when my father would tell me not to play on the street because he wanted to keep me safe. If I disobeyed him, he would give me a spanking.
"People think Bob was laid back about everything, but he was tough when it came to discipline.
"That is a traditional type of Caribbean parenting - old-school. Kids grow up very differently today."
