Movie lovers were thrilled last weekend at Filmhouse Cinemas, IMAX, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, when Chika Ike, an awarding-winning movie star and producer, hosted the premiere of ‘Small Chops’, her latest movie. The movie, which is coming after 15 years break in the industry, stars Nse-etim, Sophie Alakija, Toyin Abraham, Eucharia Anunobi, Rachael Okonkwo, Nkem Owoh, Hafiz Ayetoro and Chika Ike, who plays the lead actress.
As expected, the premiere red carpet was packed with top Nollywood stars and celebrities who came to support the movie including; Peter Okoye, AY Makun, Uche Elendu, Chinedu Ikedieze, Falz, Uti Nwachukwu among others.
The break after 15 years of acting and filming back to back in Nollywood, according to Chika, enabled her to further her education and set up a business.
The movie Small Chops shares the story of Nikita, an Afro performer at a hot-spot of a suburb, where she entertains at a place where randy men patronize and she has the most customers. Despite the odds and society labeling, she keeps her selfrespect.
The movie is directed by Robert Peters, the director behind films like ’30 Days in Atlanta’ and ‘A Trip to Jamaica’ and co-produced by Serah Donald Onyeachor.
Small Chops will be out in cinemas nationwide from January 31, 2020.
