Y’all! There’s a Nollywood/Bollywood romantic comedy movie named Namaste Wahala starring Ini Dima-Okojie and Indian actor, Ruslaan Mumtaz, and it’s coming to cinemas pretty soon!

The 24th of April 2020, to be precise.

One of the movie’s stars, Nollywood’s Ini Dima-Okojie posted the news of her being in the movie on her Instagram, along with news of the movie’s production wrapping up principal photography.

We also found an announcement the director of Namaste Wahala, Hamisha Daryani, posted on her Facebook page on the 28th of January 2020.

It’s no secret that Nigerians have a very special relationship with Bollywood. No Nigerian is going to sit down to watch a 3h 45min long movie unless it’s an Indian movie with a ton of ridiculously elaborate music video-style musical sequences. So, it’s no surprise that Bollywood movie-loving Nigerians everywhere, are freaking out and demanding that this collaboration be injected right into their veins!

Girl, same!

Take all of it!

A little morbid but I love the enthusiasm.

They better have mixed the two cultures properly or there will be riots.

Doesn’t always have to be a battle.

Do we want Zee World realness throughout the movie? No. Do we want a little bit of it as comedic fan service? HELL YES!
