Aneke Twins Wrap Up Production On Mmachi
IF you are wondering why the Aneke twins – Chidimma and Chidiebere – have been out of circulation for some time now, worry no more. A bird squealed that the two acting twins who are also producers were on location for the production of their new movie, titled Mmachi. The bird also squealed that the Aneke twins insisted on a closed camp for the cast and crew, which was why they had little time to honour any industry engagement. Now that they are done with Mmachi, the bird assured that the delectable Enugu based twins will ‘hit the industry (ground) running’. Mmachi is produced by Aneke Peace and Aneke Joy and directed by Evans Oji. The cast include, Chidimma Aneke, Chidiebere Aneke, Stan K. Nnadi, Excel Asogwa, Abraham Nwodo and Hon Kelle.
Hanks Anuku Is Hale And Hearty
IT appears that each time some bloggers want to get eye views, they feast on some old ‘news’ of the notable Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku. Even though the Asaba-based actor has come out to declare that all is well with him and that fans and friends should celebrate him while he is alive, some owners of blogs and social media handles are still determined to always drag the actor out. These bloggers have been circulating and re-circulating an old video, which showed the Broad Daylight, Formidable Force and The Senator star really looking as though he has mental health issues. “I am fine and doing well’ the actor snapped when Moviedom ran into him recently in the company of the notable actor, Benedict Johnson. Both actors were on their way from Abuja to Enugu for a movie production. Throughout the boarding process, Hanks was his jovial self and he was seen exchanging banters with the airline ground staff who took turns to take ‘selfie’ with him. As he made for the stairs into the aircraft, Moviedom recalled a cryptic post the actor shared recently when he asked people to give him his flowers while he is still alive. Sharing a photograph on him, the actor wrote: ‘celebrate me and appreciate me now that I am alive.” Something like asking bloggers to allow him make headlines for the right reasons.
