Why I acted hot romantic scene-Fiona Garba

Triangle features a couple of hot romantic scenes and the stars of the scenes are fast rising actress, Fiona Garba and IK Ogbonna.

Commenting on why she accepted to act the role, Fiona, who plays the role of Zainab, mother of one and drug addict says: “It’s my job which I have passion for. If the script requires it I will do it. If I don’t who will? That’s what makes me a good actress. I wouldn’t shy away from what I’m supposed to do. I have done nude scene before. This is like the third nude scene. The first one was The Last supper which premiered in London, the second was with Blossom Chukwujekwu in a yet to be released movie and this is the third.”

 

Female fans mob Dandy Chima

USA based actor and Nollywood debutante, Dandy Chima, who plays the role of Ralph was no doubt the Lady’s man for the evening. As a consequence of his delivery, as soon as credits began to roll for Triangle, female fans couldn’t wait to lay their hands on him as they kept requesting for autographs and selfies.

“I’m overwhelmed,” Dandy confessed to Tonyogagablog, I’m glad the movie turned out well. I’m really delighted to be here tonight. I want to tell all my fans out there especially my female fans to watch out for me”

 

IK Ogbonna dazzles in comic role

If there is one word that captures top model and actor, IK Ogbonna’s delivery in Triangle, it’s superlative! Ike, who played the role of Jefferey, a gigolo who eventually falls in love with Zainab (Fiona Garba) interpreted his role so well which was a departure from his normal roles

 Commenting on his role, director of the movie, Chibuike Ibe said: “Ike’s a versatile actor and that was why I chose him for the role. His role was very special to me. Before he came on set I told him how challenging it would be because he would be playing a role he has not played before. I’m glad he delivered. You could see the way he cried while expressing the comic side of his character.”

Triangle is all about the new Nollywood-Don Kwaffy

Meanwhile, the Executive Producer of the movie, Don Kwaffy (Iorember Simon Kwaffy), the CEO of Snow City Entertainment, has declared that Triangle is all about what he described as the new Nollywood.

“Triangle is all about the new Nollywood. It is a totally fresh breath for Nollywood.  The script was unpredictable, there were no fetish practices and voodoo and I saw it going places and keeping people staying glued to the screen and besides, the cast was dynamite so we decided to shoot it!

On how much was spent: “We put in a couple of millions to make this work and we are still spending so I can’t give you a figure. Snow City Entertainment is an entertainment outfit founded on the need to encourage talents in the arts and also promote charity. Snow City Entertainment is an offshoot of Don Kwaffy Global Services. I believe so much in Nollywood because I believe that there could be a better Nollywood.”
