Tiwa savage’s debut film “Water and Garri” Set for Premiere

”Water and Garri,” a Nollywood blockbuster featuring Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage in her first acting role, is set to premiere on May 10, its producers have said.

Supreme News reports that Meji Alabi, the director of the film, made the announcement on his Instagram page.

He wrote, “We always wanted to shoot a movie, so we did. Excited to share that our new film “Water & Garri” (@WaterAndGarriFilm) is coming out on May 10th on Prime Video.”

The highly anticipated movie produced by Jimi Adesanya is slated for premiere on Prime Video, a subscription video on-demand over-the-top (OTTP) streaming and rental service.

The star-studded movie features Tiwa Savage in her acting debut alongside other Nollywood actors, including Jemima Osunde, Mike Afolarin, and Andrew Bunting.

“Water and Garri” is inspired by Tiwa Savage’s second EP song of the same title, which was released in 2021.

In the five-track EP, the singer explores themes of love, identity, and self-discovery, all of which appear in the anticipated film.

According to the producers, the plot of “Water and Garri” follows the tale of Aisha, an ambitious fashion designer with a budding career in the United States.

She, however, returned to her native home after 10 years following a family bereavement.

Back at home, things have changed; violence has escalated, and tension is high everywhere.

As Aisha reconnects with her family, she must learn to live with her scars and confront the guilt she left behind.

The intrigues that follow are what make “Water and Garri” a must-watch for moviegoers.
