Genevieve Nnaji has reportedly commenced production on a new feature film, marking a return to directing after a lengthy hiatus, with the project described as a co-production involving a major European studio.
The film, said to be shot across Nigeria and the UK, is described as a psychological thriller exploring identity and diaspora themes, with a cast expected to blend established Nollywood stars and rising UK talent.
Industry chatter suggests the project is already being positioned for international festival consideration and a high-impact global premiere later in the year.
Echotitbits take: Genevieve remains one of Nollywood’s strongest ‘international’ brands. Her return isn’t just another release—it’s a cultural event. If the film’s positioning holds, expect aggressive bidding from major streamers for exclusive rights.
