Nollywood actor Charles Okafor

Veteran actor Charles Okafor has talked about his return to the cinema for Mercy Aigbe’s soon-to-be-released film Ada Omo Daddy.

Mercy revealed the star-studded cast in an Instagram post on Tuesday, October 24, where she also asked her fans who they are looking forward to seeing in the movie, with the majority calling Charles Okafor.

On Wednesday, November 8, Mercy posted a video of Charles Okafor speaking about his return and involvement in the actress’ new project.

“The story for me brings together the totality of youths and exuberance that defines youth for positive and negative judgement so you find that interplay in Omo Daddy but what actually kills me is the juxtaposition of these beautiful cultures, the Yoruba and the Igbo culture, makeup, set designs, the technicals, you know every person representing an aspect of this beautiful magic Ada Omo Daddy has become,” he said.

Captioning the video, Mercy Aigbe wrote: “Charles Okafor makes a resounding Comeback to mainstream acting with AdaOmoDaddy!!!!

“OMG y’all need to see Uncle Charles in this movie!

“It was such a delight and great honor working with the Iconic Charles Okafor! He added so much color with his expertise and I feel so blessed to have had him on this Project!!!

“ADAOMODADDY brings Old Nollywood + New Nollywood together and the result in terms of character interpretation was magic 🤩

“When I tell you we made a MOVIE be darn sure that we made Pure Magic for your Entertainment.

“So Buckle Up! Dec 15th AdaOmoDaddy will be in all Cinemas nationwide!

“A Holiday Movie like never before.”
