Judith Audu Productions has announced that Osas Okonyon will play the lead role in the upcoming and compelling new film, EVI.
The movie will feature a stellar cast comprising seasoned actors including Uzor Arukwe, Omowunmi Dada, Ibrahim Suleiman, Waje Iruobe, Tomiwa Tegbe, and Femi Branch, among others.
Judith Audu Productions is collaborating with Switch Visuals Productions, Signet Rings Productions, and NOI Productions, in the production of the movie.
Written and directed by Uyoyou Adia, and powered by CCHUB in partnership with Africa No Filter and supported by the Gates Foundation, the movie explores themes of arrogance, addiction, humility, and the challenging journey of self-discovery and second chances.
Speaking about her role as the lead actress, Okonyon said: “Stepping into the world of EVI for my first feature role has been a transformative experience. Evi’s journey is a powerful reminder that talent is only half the story—humility and the people you choose to have around you are just as important. It’s a privilege to debut with a character that has so much heart and an inspiring arc of redemption.”
Producer Judith Audu added that EVI is more than just a story about the music industry; it’s a deep dive into the costs of arrogance and the profound value of loyalty and resilience.
“Collaborating with partners like CCHUB, Africa No Filter, and the Gates Foundation, whose missions align with our message of social impact and personal change, has been incredibly rewarding. EVI is a timely and important story about helping people confront their demons and finding their true selves along the way,” she stated.
The film is set to premiere in cinemas across Nigeria on March 27, 2026.
