Directed by James Omokwe, Tolu Ajayi, Fiyin Gambo, and Ifeoma Chukwuogo, Diiche also stars Efa Iwara, Daniel K Daniel, Uzoamaka Onuoha, Kalu Ikeagwu and Gloria Anozie-Young.
Chinyere, who plays the role of no-nonsense Kessandu, mother of Diiche says she is glad to be a
part of a unique story which features an array of stars which she refers to as the “clash of the titans”.
“I loved it when I saw it. I wanted to be part of it and told myself so. The story is unique and something different from my usual character. It’s a beautiful story, and I’m glad I’m part of it.”
“There is Gloria Anozie, Kalu Ikeagwu, and so many of them that I can’t start mentioning their names. Different characters and brilliant actors with different interpretations in their own way.”
