The upcoming Nigerian film ‘EVI’, written and directed by Uyoyou Adia, is set to captivate audiences with a deeply emotional narrative.

Produced by Judith Audu Productions, Switch Visuals, Signet Rings, and NOI Productions, the film tells the story of Evi-Oghene Donalds, a talented musician whose soaring career collapses with her record label, forcing her to navigate a harsh new reality of lounge gigs and waitressing.

A Tale of Redemption and Loyalty

During her rebuilding, Evi’s journey intersects with Kola Adeloye, a former talent manager battling addiction.

Their reluctant partnership evolves into a profound exploration of personal flaws, loyalty, and the cost of ambition, ultimately tested when Evi’s career reignites and she returns to the spotlight.

A Stellar Cast and Socially Resonant Story

The film stars Osas Okonyon in her first lead role as Evi, supported by Uzor Arukwe, Omowunmi Dada, Ibrahim Suleiman, Waje Iruobe, Tomiwa Tegbe, and Femi Branch. Producers highlight the film’s themes of humility, redemption, and social impact, with support from CCHUB, Africa No Filter, and the Gates Foundation.

‘EVI’ premieres in Nigerian cinemas on March 27, 2026.
