OC and Majid have been very consistent over the last 3 years and have starred in a number of either critically acclaimed or box office smash hit films. Majid was the biggest star in 2014 starring in 5 of the top 10 films last year namely knocking on Heaven's door, Brother's Keeper, Being Mrs Elliot, Champagne and 30 Days in Atlanta. OC had success with Half of a Yellow Sun (though a small role) and When Love Happens but his body of work since 2012 has been outstanding no wonder why 2015 has started strongly for him with Funny comedy 'Gone Too Far' which was a Top 20 hit when it was released in the UK last October, making OC an instant international cross over star. A post for another day 'How come a Ghanian Actor is the highest grossing actor in Nollywood?'
The duo are expertly cast in The Department by Producer Chinaza Onuzo and Uduak Isong who thoroughly did their research about the star-system the Nigerian Film Industry operates. The Department stars Osas Ighodaro (in her first Nollywood film), Jide Kosoko and Desmond Elliot. It is written by Chinaza Onuzo and Directed by Remi Vaughn-Richards.
Other notable mentions for Top Grossing actors are;
Ayo Makun - extraordinary 2014 starring in 3 films (Number 1 fan, Being Mrs Elliot and 30 Days in Atlanta) and responsible for the biggest ever cinema film in Nigeria.
Desmond Elliot - has had a number of cameo roles but consistent over the years and should be acknowledged for his improved Directing of cinema films.
Blossom Chukwujekwu - silent star of Flower Girl who has gone on to blossom with star performances in films such as Finding Mercy, Knocking on Heaven's door and even a cameo in 'When Love Happens'
Watch OC Ukeje and Majid Michel star in 'The Department' out in cinemas from this Friday Jan 30, 2015. Check out the trailer....
