Fast rising Nollywood actress and producer, Ijenebe Anwuri alongside Nollywood star Kenneth Okolie are among stars that featured in the just concluded movie, A fool and a lover. Written and produced by Ijenebe Anwuri, the Romantic comedy, which also stars Bimbo Ademoye and Gloria Young was directed by Saheed Apanpa.

A fool and a lover is the story of a young lady who is bent on finding love; she assumes every man she meets is Mr. Right, unfortunately for her, her supposed Mr. Right is in love with his Mrs. Right.

Anwuri, who ventured into film production last year, earned herself some recognition for her 2018 film, Truth.

“After a very positive feedback on Truth, I believe A fool and a lover will supersede their expectation. Being a producer has been really hectic, more hectic than acting and it is more interesting than I thought,” she said.

The actress, who has been able to merge acting and production successfully, said it’s fun,

“That is the fun part actually, producing has given me an insight to film making, combining both has changed my orientation about Nollywood. Unlike popular opinion, my gender has nothing to do with the challenges the job may bring but so far, it has been smooth all the way”. 

Anwuri is also known for dishing out funny skit videos on her Instagram page. She said she loves comedy and most of her movies have traces of humor,

“The skit focuses mainly on my comic side, when I am not filming, I write scripts and I am also working on some literary text”.
