Veteran Nigerian actor Wale Ojo has officially shared the first teaser for his much-anticipated movie, This Is Not A Nollywood, giving fans a first glimpse into what promises to be a cinematic experience unlike anything seen before in the industry. The teaser, released on social media, has already generated buzz, largely because of the star-studded cast and the intriguing title that suggests a fresh approach to storytelling.
The movie features the legendary Hanks Anuku, whose presence alone signals a blend of depth, intensity, and authenticity. Known for his remarkable career in Nollywood, Anuku’s role in This Is Not A Nollywood is expected to be a standout performance. Alongside him, the film boasts an ensemble cast of some of the industry’s brightest talents, including Blossom Chukwujekwu, Olumide Oworu, Chidi Mokeme, Bimbo Akintola, Broda Shaggi, Shatta Bandle, Julius Agwu, and the film’s producer Boma Akpore, who also stars in the project.
Directed by Wale Ojo himself, the movie is shaping up to be a major cinematic release for 2025. Ojo, who has previously impressed audiences both on stage and on screen, takes the reins as director, promising a vision that merges strong storytelling with cinematic craftsmanship. The teaser hints at high production values and an engaging narrative, although Ojo is keeping much of the plot under wraps, creating an air of mystery and anticipation among fans.
The cinematography for This Is Not A Nollywood is handled by Agbo Kelly, whose previous work has shown a keen eye for framing and mood. The visual storytelling, combined with costume designs by Jason Porshe, promises a distinct aesthetic that sets the movie apart from typical Nollywood productions. The attention to detail in both cinematography and costume design is already being praised online, suggesting that the film will be visually compelling as well as narratively engaging.
Produced by Boma Akpore and with associate producer Esse Odometa, the project reflects a collaborative effort to push the boundaries of Nigerian cinema. The movie is set to premiere exclusively in cinemas in 2025, signaling a big-screen experience that emphasizes quality production and audience immersion. This release strategy also underscores Wale Ojo’s commitment to giving the film the platform it deserves, rather than confining it to streaming services initially.
Fans are particularly excited about the diverse mix of cast members, from seasoned actors like Bimbo Akintola and Chidi Mokeme to rising stars like Olumide Oworu, and even internet sensations like Broda Shaggi and Shatta Bandle. This mix suggests a dynamic film that bridges different Nollywood audiences while appealing to younger moviegoers.
With the teaser out, anticipation is building, and fans are already speculating about the plot and the characters. If the teaser is anything to go by, This Is Not A Nollywood promises strong performances, sharp visuals, and a cinematic experience that could redefine expectations for Nigerian films in 2025.
