Nigerian actor, model, and reality star Boma Akpore is set to make a remarkable stride in his acting career as he transitions from television to the big screen with his new feature film, This Is Not a Nollywood Movie — a daring cinematic project that promises to redefine contemporary Nigerian storytelling.
Distributed by FilmOne Entertainment, the movie marks a significant milestone for Boma, who first gained fame from the reality show Big Brother Naija and has since grown into one of Nollywood’s most versatile emerging talents.
Directed by award-winning actor and filmmaker Wale Ojo, the film is a unique blend of intense drama, social commentary, and creative experimentation, challenging the norms of mainstream Nigerian cinema. It brings together a vibrant mix of veteran stars and Gen Z talents, bridging generational gaps within the industry.
One of the most exciting highlights of the project is the long-awaited comeback of Hanks Anuku, one of Nollywood’s most iconic faces from the golden era of Nigerian cinema. His return to the screen has already sparked massive buzz among fans who have missed his magnetic presence and action-driven performances.
Speaking about the project, insiders reveal that This Is Not a Nollywood Movie explores layered themes of identity, fame, and authenticity in the entertainment industry — questioning the very boundaries of what defines “Nollywood.” With Boma in the lead role, viewers can expect a performance that is both introspective and commanding, reflecting his evolution as an actor and storyteller.
The film’s ensemble cast includes a mix of rising stars and seasoned professionals, creating an on-screen synergy that balances nostalgia with fresh energy. Under Wale Ojo’s direction, the production aims to deliver not just entertainment but a cinematic statement about the evolution of Nigerian film.
With FilmOne handling its theatrical distribution, This Is Not a Nollywood Movie is expected to hit cinemas nationwide soon, with anticipation already building across social media and industry circles.
For Boma Akpore, this project isn’t just another role, it’s a declaration of artistic growth and a bold invitation to audiences to see Nigerian cinema in a new light.
This Is Not a Nollywood Movie coming this December to all cinemas.
