Omotola Jalade Reveals How ‘Alter Ego’ Took Her Beyond Nollywood Level

Actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has revealed how her new project ‘Alter Ego’ took her beyond the ordinary Nollywood level. According to her, she got tired of the whole Nollywood thing, citing that she needed that project that would really allow her explore more. “For a very long time, I couldn’t find a script that has a good appeal, it got to a point in Nollywood and in film making that when i got out of the country to mix with my colleagues internationally, I began to understand how people respected my brand and what they expected of me, because when you are back here, you get caught up with your normal stuff. You don’t know how big or what should be expected of you, because you are in your normal feeling, doing my normal Nollywood stuff”. Omotola said “When am with people, I see how much they want from me, what they expect of me, I needed to get back to that, it was like a reset for me. It wasn’t easy because every year, you get a lot of people asking you ‘Omotola, are you not doing movies again’. So I said to myself until I find that project, not necessarily a multi-million naira movie, when I find that set up, the character that inspires me, I don’t mind investing in it, I would do it”. “Luckily after three years or more, when Alter ego came up, I had to work with them on the script, I saw the director, the crew, I saw a team that was ready to push boundaries and I am ready with them because we are making magic”.Thanks for reading.
