Why Kalu Ikeagwu wept on movie set

 According to Punch, Nollywood Kalu Ikeagwu had more than he bargained for when he was starred in the movie, Broken, alongside Nollywood diva, Nse Ikpe Etim.
The actor, who played the role of a randy NYSC member on his primary assignment in a rural community, was so carried away by the performance of his female colleague that he virtually swore not to have seen anything like it before.
"At a point I could not hold back tears as I watched Nse do her thing. It was like a real life scene to me. The storyline is touching, I've never been involved in a movie like this before," he said.
For Nse, Broken is an added boost to her career, having made her mark in Mr. and Mrs. and 'Phone Swap' previously. She is back on the screen with the lead role in the movie.
Nse plays the role of a woman who tries to bury her past and move on with her life. At first, she tries to pretend that her past never existed. But time plays a fast one on her and churns up bits of her scandalous way of life. The result is that her two children suddenly turn up when she least expects them and shatter the peace and calm that she has been enjoying.
Also, Bimbo Manuel, who plays the role of Nse's husband, sees his life tumbling downwards as his love-child, a secret he desperately wanted to keep away from his wife, reveals her identity.
While the couple struggle in vain to avoid the inevitable scandals, Kalu tries very hard to wriggle out of the clutches of his love-struck village girlfriend. Along the line, the lives of the three meet at the point where their sanity and happiness become severely threatened.
The movie is perhaps the newest in town. It was produced and directed by Bright Wonder.
Broken focuses on child abuse, trafficking and neglect. It exposes the adverse effects of social ills on the Nigerian child and on the larger society. The movie seeks to reaffirm the place of the family as the basic socialising agency and to raise public awareness against the menace of child abuse," the producer said, adding that the movie is an improvement on his previous works, including 'Away' and 'Beyond'.
The movie will be premiered on Thursday, March 28 (tomorrow) at the Silverbird Cinema in Abuja.
