Nollywood’s stars; Jim Iyke Enyinna Nwigwe, Beverly Naya, and Ghana’s Joselyn Dumas are making a big statement in the movie, Cold Feet, which commenced showing in cinemas around the country on May 17.
It is a story of old love meets new in a love triangle that brings with it sexual tension and personal conflict.
When a combined celebration of her birthday and their wedding anniversary leads the beautiful Omoye (Joselyn Dumas) and her loving husband Mayowa (Jim Iyke) an ex-army colonel, to a weekend getaway at a beautiful resort in Uyo, Nigeria, neither of them could have expected that their relationship would be rocked to its very foundations by ghosts from the past.
Things go pretty well until Omoye bumps into a charming young man, Tare – an ex-flame and love interest who also happened to have chosen the resort as the location where he would propose to his girlfriend, Teni.
From their surprise meeting, sparks from their previous, five-year-old encounter start to fly and old feelings are rekindled. Back in the picture, Tare’s presence reminds Omoye of the intense sexual connection they shared five years ago. Omoye is wading in murky waters even as she struggles to ward off this shadow from her past.
Speaking on the theme of the movie, the CEO of Danki Dynasty Group, Darlington Anyiam-Osigwe explained that at a time when there is a huge silence and lack of real examples that address real-life scenarios where matters of the heart are concerned, especially amongst young people, his company decided to team up with internationally acclaimed multiple award-winning director – Moses Ewang, to deliver this masterpiece, shine the light on these issues, especially the associated landmines of emotions and feelings, and change the way they are perceived and addressed in the country.
“Expect an explosive action-packed drama movie and the best performances from the actors, especially Jim Iyke; whose hair we had to shave make him fit into character,” Ewang said while speaking to journalists ahead of the premiere.
Also featuring an array of Nollywood veterans and superstars like Segun Arinze, Caroline Danjuma, and Femi Adebayo Salami, Cold Feet premiered on May 12 at the Intercontinental Hotel, Lagos.
