Nollywood hit movie Seven Doors was one of the many projects that received recognition at the 11th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) in Lagos, on Saturday, May 10. Seven Doors won two of the most coveted awards, Best Lead Actor (Femi Adebayo) and Best Lead Actress (Chioma Chukwuka), making it one of the standout movies of the year.
Actress Chioma Chukwuka broke down in tears on Saturday after winning the Best Lead Actress award at the 11th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards for her role in “Seven Doors.”
Sharing a heartfelt video on Instagram, the actress was visibly overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.
Despite being absent from the ceremony, Femi Adebayo received the award on her behalf.
Chukwuka’s win stood out in a fiercely competitive category that included Gbubemi Ejeye (Farmer’s Bride), Uzoamaka Onuoha (Agemo), Uche Montana (Thin Line), Uzoamaka Aniunoh (Phoenix Fury), Hilda Dokubo (Wives on Strike 3), and Bimbo Ademoye (Anikulapo: Rise of the Spectre).
The movie, jointly directed by Femi Adebayo, Adebayo Tijani and Tope Adebayo, tells the story of King Adedunjoye, a reluctant king whose reign is haunted by a generational curse.
For him to break the curse, he must marry six more wives, thus opening ‘seven doors’, despite his deep love for his wife, Amaka.
