‘Nollywood producers want to finish me with Odogwu roles’ — Uzor Arukwe cries out
Nollywood actor, Uzor Arukwe, has accused film producers of repeatedly offering him “Odogwu” characters, saying he cannot be restricted to one type of role.
Arukwe made the remark during an interview on The Creativitea Podcast, where he said producers kept asking him to repeat the character because they believed it would guarantee returns on their investment.
“All the producers in Nollywood now want to kill me with Odogwu character. You can’t put me in a box,” he said.
The actor urged producers to take chances on other characters, just as someone had taken a chance on the role that helped establish his popularity.

“The same way someone took a chance on that character, you can also create another character and give to me,” Arukwe said.
His comments came after his manager, Mautin Tairu, popularly known as Mr M, admitted that he had also become tired of the actor’s frequent “igbotic” roles.
