The Hype Agency, a Public Relations Consulting firm, said that the principal photography and production of the movie, “Orah”, had been completed and were ready to be premiered soon.
Funmi Oduse, Chief Operating Officer, of Hype Agency, disclosed this in a statement on Friday, in Lagos.
Oduse said that the movie was shot in Nigeria and Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
“Orah” stars Oyin Oladejo, Lucky Ejim, Agape Mngomezulu, Morgan Bedard, Somkele Iyamah-Idhalama, Oris Erhuero, O.C. Ukeje, Femi Lawson, and Christopher Seivright.
“The notable Nigeria-based cast in the film include Angel Oduko, Tina Mba, Emeka Nwagbaraocha, Ruby Akubueze, and Kelechi Udegbe,” she said.
The story began in 2005, when 15-year-old Orah Madukaku killed a man in Nigeria and fled the country without her infant son, Lucky.
“Orah, 17 years later, is an illegal immigrant in Canada working as a taxi driver for attorney Eli Pope and his high-profile Nigerian client, Bami Hazar, who are both involved in international money laundering.
