Nollywood actress Chioma Akpotha has showered praise on her colleague Ibrahim Chatta, commending his exceptional acting talent and dedication.
Sharing a behind-the-scenes video from the set of their upcoming cinema movie, Makemation, Chioma lauded Ibrahim for his professionalism and ability to bring characters to life.
Ibrahim Chatta is a delight to work with,” Chioma wrote on Instagram. “He is such a talented actor who is also diligent and intense with his delivery. He literally breathes life into a character and just BECOMES. Catch him in the movie Makemation, where I had the privilege of playing his wife. Showing in cinemas nationwide.”
Ibrahim Chatta has long been celebrated for his craft, particularly in Yoruba-speaking Nollywood. Despite claims that he is underrated, the actor insists he is blessed with immense grace. He is among the highest-paid actors in the Yoruba film industry and has received accolades for his dedication, including recognition from the Ooni of Ife and a contribution award from Odunlade Adekola.
The journey to stardom wasn’t an easy one for Chatta, who once worked as a bus conductor and shared a single room with nine others. Overcoming those struggles, he has carved a stellar career in Nollywood, gaining respect for his artistry and cultural contributions.
In 2023, Chatta faced public outcry over his exclusion from the AMVCA nominations despite his standout performance in King of Thieves. While unbothered by the snub, he expressed disappointment over not being invited to the prestigious event, especially as younger colleagues attended.
With Makemation hitting cinemas soon, fans are eager to see Ibrahim Chatta deliver yet another memorable performance.
