Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe was left emotional after receiving a thoughtful surprise from producer Efe Irele during the premiere of the highly anticipated film My Mother Is A Witch. The event, held on Sunday, May 17th, marked a memorable moment for the AMVCA Best Supporting Actress.
In a heartwarming video shared by Mercy, Efe Irele presented her with a bouquet of flowers as a gesture of appreciation for her stellar performance. The actress described the moment as the highlight of her night, expressing gratitude to Efe and acknowledging the contributions of the entire cast and crew.
This was Tonight’s Highlight for me. When your producer gives you flowers right after the premiere of her movie, you know you did something right,” Mercy wrote on Instagram. She also extended her appreciation to director Niyi Akinmolayan and co-stars, including Timini Egbuson and Neo Akpofure, for their exceptional work on the film.
Mercy encouraged fans to watch the movie, which is set to hit cinemas nationwide on May 23rd, promising a captivating experience.
This isn’t the first time Efe has shown her admiration for Mercy. Last year, she surprised the actress with a bouquet to celebrate the start of her production journey, cementing their bond as collaborators and friends.
The premiere, however, was not without drama, as fellow actress Toyin Abraham playfully called out Mercy for her extravagant outfit. Toyin humorously warned Mercy not to outshine her own movie premiere in June, jokingly threatening that she might have to sleep at the entrance.
Mercy responded with her characteristic wit, promising to bring her A-game to her upcoming premiere, ensuring fans a spectacular event.
Despite the playful banter, the two actresses share mutual respect and admiration. Toyin had recently congratulated Mercy on her AMVCA win, commending her performance and celebrating her achievements in the industry.
My Mother Is A Witch promises to be a cinematic masterpiece, and the camaraderie between its cast and crew is a testament to its potential success. Fans eagerly await its release, ready to be enthralled by the story and stellar performances.
