Popular Nollywood movie producer Lonzo Nzekwe (the producer of ‘Anchor Baby’) has opened up on his new movie titled ‘ORAH’ which has been in the works for 11-years.
Lonzo Nzekwe opened up about the movie moments after the conclusion of the principal photography of the film in conjunction with Circle Blue Entertainment, Freddie Films and IronFlix.
According to the talented Canada based movie producer, parts of the movie which stars Oyin Oladejo, Lucky Onyekachi Ejim, Oris Erhuero, Somkele Iyamah-Idhalama, and Christopher Seivright among others were shot in Nigeria.

Producers Kane and Adetuyi echo the sentiments of Nzekwe. “I am grateful that Lonzo wanted to work with us on ORAH; it’s great to bring a story to the screen that reflects my Nigerian heritage,” shared producer Amos Adetuyi, Circle Blue Entertainment.
“We embarked on this journey with Lonzo to bring ORAH to life almost five years ago. I am so excited that we finally brought this story to the screen,” said producer Floyd Kane, Freddie Films.
The story begins in 2005, when 15-year-old ORAH MADUKAKU kills a man in Nigeria and flees the country without her infant son, LUCKY. Seventeen years later, Orah 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. After Hazar orders the murder of Orah’s son, she embarks on a revenge spree to bring Hazar to justice. When all her legal options failed, Orah resorts to violence to settle the score.
Other notable Nigerian based cast in the much anticipated film include: Angel Oduko, Tina Mba, Emeka Nwagbaraocha, Ruby Akubueze and Kelechi Udegbe.
