Nollywood star, Charles Inojie, has finalised plans to produce his first movie after years of directing and acting.
The Edo State native, who said he had been very busy in the last couple of years, explained that he is going to try his hands on producing films from next year.
“But we are keeping the details very close to our hearts just yet. Discussions have reached top gear with potential sponsors, and I do not want to pre-empt anything at the moment. Let me assure my fans, however, that they are in for a great experience,” Inojie said.
Those who follow Inojie will agree that he has paid his dues in Nollywood, rising from humble beginnings to where he has gotten to now.
“From when I left the university as a graduate of theatre arts till date, I have literally navigated the lowest valleys of Nollywood right to its mountain tops. You would recall that I started out as a writer/artistic director, but over the years, I have since earned full credits in well over 70 titles as director while appearing in leading role capacities in over 40 very successful movies,” Inojie, who believes standards have risen in Nollywood, stated.
To him, the greatest challenge the industry faces is that of piracy.
“It is most regrettable that whereas anti-piracy laws exist, they are either obsolete or in most cases not enforced by the relevant law enforcement agencies. This scenario has given rise to a situation where common criminals reap where they did not sow,” the actor well known for his comic roles said.
