Ever wondered why you are yet to see new movies of Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade on your screen?
Well, producer and director of Mirror Boy and Last Flight to Abuja Obi Emelonye has opened up to say that the actresses are victims of their own success as
few opportunities have come thier way recently.
In an exclusive chat with TheNollywoodReporter, Emelonye said:
“Genevieve and Omotola are the two
biggest actresses we have in
Nollywood, they cannot afford to
charge less than their status and
that is where the problem comes in.
Their charges are probably above
what the industry can afford.
Their charges are like half of the entire
production budget so which
producer can afford that?”
On what they can do :
“What they can do now as it is with
other big stars all over the world, is
that they should begin to fund their
own productions and act in them,
they can act whatever role will
enhance their brand, they need to
start a production company now,
and push themselves because they
need to remain relevant and must
not be seen as jobless. If corporate
bodies perceive them as jobless they
won’t want to do business with
them, they might even price them
cheap.”
