Nollywood’s Rising Star Makes Waves In The UK.

Nigerian-born actor based in the UK, Michael Adesanya, is rising for himself in the world of Nollywood.

His journey into the film industry began when he took on the role of UK manager for the acclaimed Nollywood star, Kolawole Ajeyemi, also known as Awilo, in early 2020, and the collaboration marked the start of a fruitful partnership that would later propel Adesanya into the spotlight.

In 2023, Adesanya made his mark by producing his debut Nollywood movie, “Boomerang,” which featured a stellar cast including Ibrahim Yekini, popularly known as Kesari, Kolawole Ajeyemi, Antar Laniyan, Ayo Olaiya, Mo Bimpe Adedimeji, and Biola Adebayo, among others.

Filmed both in Nigeria and the UK, “Boomerang” garnered attention for its captivating storyline and impressive performances, and the success of “Boomerang” not only established Adesanya as a formidable force in Nollywood but also earned him recognition among audiences, particularly in London, UK, where he has been building a strong presence.

The movie served as a stepping stone for Adesanya to expand his reach and solidify his position within the industry.
