Nollywood Trends | Actress Bimbo Akintola returns in New Movie ‘HOODRUSH’
The wait is finally over for movie lovers who have been waiting to see the delectable Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola on the big screens, as she features in this commendable musical Nollywood flick, Hoodrush which is a musical thriller starring some of the best and emerging young talents in the industry such as Ijeoma Agu, Gabriel Afolayan, O.C Ukeje, Lilian Byoma, Chelsea Eze, and a host of others.
The movie was directed by Dimeji Ajibola C.E.O Flipsyde Studios, a new comer in the industry who has done quite a number of production works for media houses, multinationals, and has a number of short films to his credit.
For Bimbo Akintola, starring in Hoodrush was just another step in the right direction as she has always been known for stellar performances in her roles. The Theatre Arts graduate of University of Ibadan started her foray into acting when she starred in ‘Owo Blow’, a movie which announced her to industry watchers. It was therefore not surprising that she was already making money for herself, even before she left the university. Following on the heels of ‘Owo Blow’, was an equally great performance in ‘Out of Bounds’, where she acted alongside prolific actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD). She further cemented her place as a force to reckon with when she starred in the award winning movie, the ‘Mourning After’, a movie that highlights the pains of widowhood.
BEHIND THE SCENE PHOTOS-
Hoodrush tells a story of two brothers closely bonded by their love for music; but deeply separated by their means for success. Shez and Tavier are two of a kind pursuing a Herculean dream of becoming music stars. But all they have is their amazing vocal talents, good looks, a crib in the ghetto and a menial job that could hardly pay for their clothing and feeding expenses.
They soon realize they need more to achieve their dreams, and participating and hoping to win a credible talent hunt show comes as their only natural option. Being at the bottom of the societal grid, ghetto life’s ugly fabric begins to wear on them and their eventual vulnerability puts them at the mercy of the high and mighty.
Hoodrush is expected to be in cinema from Friday, October 12, 2012.
