Wale Ojo dropped a comedy called This is not a Nollywood Movie that just premiered at iMax Lekki, and the actor known for dramatic stuff like Breath of Life switched lanes hard into funny territory. Boma Akpore produced the film that shot scenes in Nnewi and Lagos with Brother Shaggi, Bimbo Akintola, Chidi Mokeme, and Hanks Anuku rounding out the cast.
The plot follows a village guy and his buddy who bail on everything to chase acting dreams in Lagos after having visions about winning international awards. Ojo said the whole thing was expensive to make and promote, and he wants viewers to see stuff they have never watched in Nigerian cinema before. He pitched the message as artists being cultural warriors who need to build up the national spirit during rough times.
