Kannywood actress and producer Rahama Sadau celebrated her birthday Saturday with an exciting announcement for her fans. She revealed on Instagram that her upcoming film, “Mamah,” will be screened at the prestigious Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia.
She writes: “Thrilled to announce that our film “MAMAH” will be screened at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia! 🤭💃🏻 @redseafilm
“This is one great achievement as it marks the FIRST HAUSA MOVIE to be showcased at this prestigious international festival. A proud moment for us as producers and actors, and a huge leap forward for Kannywood as a whole. 🫶🏻🙌🏻”
Sadau, who recently appeared in a Bollywood film, is clearly inspired by Indian actors. These actors often use their birthdays to reveal exciting news to their fans, creating buzz and excitement around new projects. Sadau’s admiration for Indian cinema is evident, as she speaks fluent Hindi and cites Priyanka Chopra as her role model.
The actress also made history last year with her film Mati A Zazzau, which became the first Kannywood film to stream on Netflix.
The upcoming film, Mamah is co-produced by Abdul Amart and Rahama Sadau and directed by Toka Mcbaror.
It stars Adam Zango, Nafisa Abdullahi, Rahama Sadau, and Falalu Dorayi.
The premiere is scheduled for December 9th, 2024, at 10:00 am at the Red Sea Culture Square, Cinema 4.
