A star-studded Nollywood blockbuster ‘Malaika’ is set for release in cinemas in the United Kingdom on January 5.

Its producers said. Ace actress and producer of the film, Toyin Abraham, disclosed this on her Instagram page. 

“Malaika takes centre stage at Odeon Cinemas starting January 5. Get ready for an unforgettable cinematic experience,” the actress stated.

Malaika, directed by Steve Sodiya, premiered on December 17 and hit cinemas across Nigeria on December 22.

The film is reportedly the second highest-grossing film for 2023, raking in over N143 million in 11 days in cinemas.

It features Nollywood stars, including Ibrahim Chatta, Uzor Arukwe, Odunlade Adekola, Pelumi Olawuni, Taiwo Lyncett, Adesege Adeniji, and Ugandan entertainer Anne Kansiime, among others.

The plot of Malaika follows the story of a woman, played by Toyin Abraham, who grapples with infertility and anger issues.

However, she embarked on a transformative spiritual journey because a supportive circle of friends and family surrounded her.

The intrigue that unfolded is what makes Malaika a must-watch for moviegoers.
