In the course of last year, Nollywood actress,Genevieve Nnaji had the
privilege of working with some top Hollywood actors on the set of
Chimamanda Adiche’s Half of A Yellow Sun.
But it appears the actress would not have the pleasure of seeing her
scenes when the yet-to-be-released movie, directed by Niyi Bandele, goes
to the cinemas. It was gathered that Genevieve Nnaji’s scenes weren’t
important to the story and has thus been deleted.
A reliable source who has seen the movie said, “I figured that because
of Genevieve Nnaji’s way of acting, her character dragged the storyline,
so it was cut out during editing.”
Speaking further the source said, “Her minor role was [just a]
compensation to Nollywood… she should not try to go to the cinemas to
see the film with her family members, else she will give herself
heartache.”
Genevieve Nnaji will only be seen in a party scene in the finished Half of A Yellow Sun movie.
