Nollywood actor, Ramsey
Noah, is bid to storm the Republic of Rwanda any moment from now where he is
expected to produce a film that will help to boost the image of that country.
Rwandan Minister of Sport and Culture, Ambassador Joseph
Habineza, disclosed this to HVP in a chat in Calabar. Continue..
Habineza said, the film, which will be a romantic comedy is aimed at promoting Rwanda’s tourism
and investment sectors in Africa. To be sponsored by that country’s government as
well as the private sector, the film will feature both Nollywood stars and
Rwandan actors alike.
Disclosing that Rwandans love to watch Nigerian movies, Habineza
said, the country is out to encourage filmmakers from across Africa to come and
make films in Rwanda because of its beautiful landscape, saying the project
will kicked off this month.
“The movie is about a love story between a Nigerian businessman
and a Rwandan woman. It is Ramsey’s movie
and he was inspired to make it when he visited Rwanda for Kwita Izina
ceremony,”
“We’re conducting online pre-selections and the shooting should
start in January next year. This film will promote Rwanda as a tourism and
investment destination,” said Habineza. The movie is estimated to cost a whopping
US$1.5 million.
Habineza said several corporate organisations have expressed
interest to bank-roll the movie.
