Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has made history by becoming the first Nigeria actor to be hired as a performer to fly in a helicopter in a movie.
The actor took to Instagram to express his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity.
“God has been faithful to me in the industry,” Kanayo wrote. “First Nigerian Actor to be hired as a performer to fly in a helicopter in a movie. #KOKisOK #OCHIAGHA IGBO NINE.”
Nollywood has really come a long way. No insurance oooo, any kpam for helicopter, man don waka. The many risks we took to entertain you. Kudos to Amaco Group.”
Kanayo’s stunt was filmed for the upcoming movie “Ochiagha Igbo Nine,” which is directed by Uche Iwuji.
The film is a crime thriller set in Nigeria and tells the story of a man who was forced to go on the run after being framed for a crime he did not commit.
The legendary Nollywood actor’s helicopter stunt is just one example of the many risks that actors take in order to entertain their fans.
In the past, Nollywood films were often low-budget and actors were not always provided with proper safety equipment.
