Nollywood fans are in for a Christmas treat as Colours of Fire, a new film directed by acclaimed filmmaker Niyi Akinmolayan, is set for a nationwide release on December 24, 2025.
The highly anticipated movie has already sparked excitement following FilmOne Entertainment’s announcement that it has acquired exclusive distribution rights to the feature. Co-produced by FilmOne Studios and Anthill Studios, the project promises to be one of the biggest festive releases of the year.
Colours of Fire stars a stellar cast including Osas Ighodaro, Uzor Arukwe, Femi Branch, Mercy Aigbe, and Gabriel Afolayan, and tells a heartfelt story about love, loss, and resilience emotions that shine through the warmth and chaos of the Christmas season.
The film is expected to strike a deep emotional chord with audiences while showcasing the visual brilliance and storytelling depth that have become synonymous with Akinmolayan’s work.
Speaking about the project, Kene Okwuosa, Group CEO of Filmhouse Group, described Colours of Fire as a reflection of Nollywood’s evolving direction.
“This film reflects where Nollywood is headed: bold, emotional, and technically refined,” he said. “At FilmOne, we’re committed to championing African stories that connect locally and stand confidently on the global stage.”
His statement highlights the growing emphasis on high-quality, globally appealing African storytelling that has been gaining momentum in Nigeria’s film industry.
Ladun Awobokun, Chief Content Officer at FilmOne Entertainment, also emphasized the significance of the collaboration, noting that the movie symbolizes unity and shared creativity within Nollywood.
“Colours of Fire reminds us of the power of collaboration and the shared humanity at the heart of good storytelling,” she remarked.
For Akinmolayan, whose previous works include The Wedding Party 2 and The House of Secrets, this project marks another creative milestone.
“I wanted to make a story that feels like home but looks like the world something bold, colourful, and unapologetically Nigerian,” the director said. His words underline the balance between cultural authenticity and cinematic excellence that has defined his filmmaking approach.
With FilmOne Entertainment handling distribution and FilmOne Studios leading production, Colours of Fire reinforces FilmOne’s growing influence in merging creativity and commerce to bring African narratives to a wider audience.
As one of Nollywood’s biggest distributors, FilmOne continues to position itself as a key player in taking Nigerian films beyond local cinemas and into global markets.
