Fans of the Nigerian movie industry popular as Nollywood have reacted to the debut of reality show star Mercy Eke into the industry.
Eke made her debut via Toyin Abraham’s soon to be released movie titled Fate of Alakada.
Fate of Alakada is a sequel to Abraham’s highly successful comic franchise Alakada which first, second, and third edition tagged Alakada Reloaded went on to be in a class of it’s own, raking in up to 70 million Naira at the cinema.
Eke’s debut also features social media comedian Broda Shaggi. Unveiling Eke as one of the stars of the movie, Abraham took to social media Instagram to write:
“Thanks my darling @official_mercyeke for coming onset, fam watch out for @official_mercyeke in Fate of Alakada in cinemas 10th April 2020.”
While news of the acting career of the winner of the 2019, Big Brother Naija reality show aptly tagged Pepper Dem Gang has been greeted with positive vibes, there are also those who have questioned the likelihood that she would make it as an actress.
Asides the fact that she is a greenhorn in the industry, she is not known to have acted in any movie, with her roles in front of the camera being as a vixen.
All of the doubts will, however, be put to rest or otherwise when Fate of Alakada hit the cinema on April 10.
Eke has been recording a lot of positive feats since winning the show, signing several endorsement deals.
