Chidinma Ekile recently starred in her first movie, The Bridge, which was released in cinemas nationwide on Friday the 9th of December, alongside Nigerian actor Demola Adedoyin.
Produced by Laun Ray and directed by Kunle Afolayan, the Boi-powered film tells the story of Stella (Chidinma Ekile ) a young lady from a distinguished Igbo family, because of Love she secretly marries a Yoruba prince named Obadare ( Demola Adedoyin ) against her parent's wish. The relationship becomes threatened by tribal prejudice and the consequences shake the very foundation and unity of both families.
Although she had always wanted to act, she didn't expect it to come as quickly as it did. She said, "i just got a call from Kunle Afolayan. He didn't know before then that i wanted to act, i even asked him 'why did you call me? I don't understand. He said, 'You're a musician', you shoot music videos', and from the way he saw me on screen, he thought that i would at least know a few things and if i had any challenges, he would put me through.
I got on set and it was one of the best things i have ever done. I definitely loved the experience," she hopes to feature in other movies. To her, a relationship is all about "understanding and friendship," adding that "those two things are very key and that's my understanding or idea of a relationship because once those things are there, every other thing will fall into place." The Bridge also features Zack Orji, Binta Ayo Mogaji, Kunle Afolayan, Ken Erics, Lanre Hassan, Adebayo Salami, Tina Mba, Lere Paimo Wole Olowomojuore, Jimoh Aliu and Mama Ray Eyiwumi. The movie, which was set in Ilorin, kwara state, was produced by Lasun Ray and directed by Kunle Afolayan.
