The "Queen of Nollywood," Mo Abudu, just set the internet on fire with a sneak peek at EbonyLife’s latest venture. If you’ve been waiting for the next big thing in Nigerian cinema, grab your popcorn, WICK (Where Is Chioma Kalu) is officially on the way!
From the star-studded cast to a surprising potential cameo, here is the breakdown of why this project is already generating massive buzz.
EbonyLife has never been one to shy away from top-tier talent, and WICK is no exception. Mo Abudu’s recent Instagram update showcased a lineup that promises high-octane performances.
Nancy Isime: Described by Mo as "incomparable and unstoppable," Isime continues her reign as one of the most versatile leads in the industry.
Etim Effiong: Bringing his signature depth and charisma to the screen.
Blessing Jessica Obasi: A "brilliant and captivating" addition that rounds out a truly formidable trio.
Behind the lens is the prolific Kayode Kasum. Known for his unique visual storytelling and hits like Soole, Kambili, amongst many other titles, Kasum is a fan-favorite director who knows exactly how to balance drama with high production value.
The biggest "Easter egg" from the BTS footage wasn't just the acting, it was a familiar face from the gospel music world. Mercy Chinwo was spotted on set, sparking a wave of speculation.
While she’s global royalty in the music scene, let’s not forget that Mercy is no stranger to the silver screen. She previously held her own in House of Gold and Another Father’s Day. Could WICK be her big return to acting? We’re keeping our eyes peeled!
This project is part of the EbonyLife ON Plus promise to deliver premium, original content ranging from feature films and series to exclusive masterclasses.
Based on the title alone, Where Is Chioma Kalu, we’re sensing a high-stakes mystery or a gripping thriller. When you combine Kayode Kasum’s direction with Nancy Isime’s intensity, you know you’re in for a ride that will have everyone talking at the water cooler.
"We promised you Originals... don't miss a moment of the fun!" — Mo Abudu
