Veteran actress Barbara Odoh, best known for her role as Helen in the Nollywood classic Glamour Girls, is set to star in a new film.
Odoh, also a gospel singer, has not been active in the film industry since the 2004 flick House Party.
She gained critical acclaim in the two-part 1994 film Glamour Girls which she starred in alongside Liz Benson, Ngozi Ezeonu, Eucharia Anunobi, Pat Attah, Ernest Obi, Zack Orji and others.
For her return to Nollywood, Odoh would star in upcoming film Omije Oloore.
The film is shot predominantly in Yoruba and also stars Ireti Osayemi, Ayo Badmus, Sola Fosudo and Victor Oyebode (aka Boy Alinco).
Omije Oloore is Barbara’s first Yoruba language film and she told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday that she feels excited to show a new side of her craft to the audience.
She added that she joined the production because she can interact fluently in Yoruba and found the script to be thought-provoking and spiritually enthralling.
Omije Oloore, directed by Adeoye Bakare aka Bakky, follows the story of a woman seeking justice after being duped by a pastor desperate to save his ministry.
