The Nigerian star of upcoming movie Namaste Wahala has told fans that filming has wrapped ahead of its release on 24 April.
Ini Dima-Okojie plays opposite Indian actor Ruslaan Mumtaz in a "love story that cuts across the cultures of two countries".
News of the upcoming film has delighted and amused fans: "Nollywood featuring Bollywood? This is about to be the most dramatic, over-exaggerated movie ever made," Twitter user Official Gracie said. "The name alone wants me to watch it. Namaste [means] peace. Wahala [means] trouble/problem. Gotta watch it with some Chicken Biryani and Jollof Rice for the culture(s)," said Jerome Antwin-Lewis. "A Nollybollywood romance called Namaste Wahala is exactly the type of film this world needs. I cannot wait to see it," Ronke Lawal tweeted. OkayAfrica points out that this isn't the first Nollywood-Bollywood crossover - that distinction belongs to the 2017 film J.U.D.E., it says. Nigeria and India boast two of the world's biggest film industries - each year generating an estimated $800m (£620m) and $2.6bn respectively.
