Nollywood Times reports that Toyin Abraham has announced veteran actor Pete Edochie as a confirmed cast member in her forthcoming film Bestie.
Edochie is set to play Papa Ngozi, with the film scheduled for a nationwide cinema opening in December. Story and wider casting details remain limited.
The announcement follows Abraham’s own social-media reveal, while Nigerian entertainment coverage has separately tracked Edochie’s renewed visibility in current Nollywood conversations.
Echotitbits take: Pairing a major contemporary box-office filmmaker with one of Nollywood’s most recognisable veterans gives Bestie immediate cross-generational marketing value. The next items to watch are the trailer, supporting cast and distributor rollout.
