It was indeed a parade of who is who in Nollywood as celebrities and top notch actors stormed the exquisite Silverbird Galleria, Victoria Island, Lagos on Sunday February 12 for the premiere of a new movie, Light Will Come.
Leading the pack of the cast was screen diva, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, who in the film plays Viola, a hooker with a tough exterior and heart of gold. Respledent in her black shimerring dress, she looked gorgeous on the red carpet. Also, Nuella Njubigbo, Eniola Badmus, Shaffy Bello, Ada Ameh, Rahama Sadau, and Hafiz Oyetoro (Saka) all cast members shone like a million stars at the event. Ashawo singer, Flavour, was not left behind as he breezed in half way to the premiere. Other guests at the ocassion include star actress, Princess, Roy Murray Bruce, Jonathan Murray Bruce, and Gabosky to mention a few.
Written, directed and produced by Tchidi Chikere, Light Will Come, which is distributed by Silverbird Film Distribution Ltd, will hit cinemas across the country on Friday February 17, 2017.
The movie tells the story of Lukas (Hafiz Oyetoro), a bumbling and comical Personal Assistant to his chronic bachelor boss, Raymond (Majid Michel). Raymond’s parents mandated him to get married and the desperate search together with Lukas to find the ideal woman his elite parents would approve of goes wrong repeatedly.
Time is running out on Raymond and he secretly engages the services of an escort agency that presents Jessica (Nuella Njubigbo) to pose as his fiancée, but the plan ends in disaster. There comes Viola (Mercy Johnson) who agrees to the plan but there’s a snag, as they are both from different worlds. The web of deceit is continuously spun before Raymond’s parents until something finally goes wrong… And add to all these, is Lukas, who has to contend with his domineering and abusive wife, Aisha (Eniola Badmus), who takes delight in physically assualting him at home.
Commenting on the movie, Chikere said: “Society makes huge demands from the individual and often times the individual bows to these pressures by taking drastic measures which often do not agree with the principles of the society. Light Will Come reveals how a good thing can come out of a bad situation, and that no one should write off anybody, for we all deserve as many chances as possible.
“We’ve left no stone unturned in ensuring that the film meets the high cinematic standard hinged on an awesome well-told story that the audience will find highly entertaining. The movie was made with a huge budget to ensure that we meet the international standard of best practices in film production through seasoned professionals engaged in the project.”
