Nollywood actress and producer, Mobolaji Samuel has opened up on ‘Return of Maleeka,’ the sequel to her well received feature film, Maleeka.
In a chat, Samuel said: “Return of Maleeka (Atupa) is more than just a captivating story; it’s a universal reflection on the human condition.”
“We hope this film will resonate with audiences of all backgrounds, sparking introspection and inspiring conversations about faith, purpose, and the power within us all,” Samuel said.
On why the audience should anticipate and watch the movie when released, Samuel said, “Return of Maleeeka (Atupa) is a powerful exploration of faith, personal struggles, and the search for meaning. A captivating narrative that blends personal stories with symbolic imagery.”
Sequel to ‘Maleeka,’ the ‘Return of Maleeka (Atupa)’ follows the journey of Omoyeni, a woman who dedicates her life to serving God and helping others.
Despite her unwavering faith and good deeds, she faces seemingly insurmountable challenges in her own life. Omoyeni’s struggles are mirrored in the story of a lamb, symbolic of selflessness and sacrifice, who shines light on others’ paths but cannot illuminate its own base.
Through Omoyeni’s experiences, the film explores profound questions about faith, destiny, and the human spirit’s capacity to overcome adversity. The narrative delves into the complexities of belief, the burden of responsibility, and the search for inner peace.
