Before now, with just N.5million budget, you could produce a first class Hausa film. Actors and actresses did not collect more than N20, 000 per flick. But the emergence of Ali Nuhu and Sani Danja on the Hausa movie scene has changed the fortunes of Hausa film stars. Today, the likes of Nuhu, Danja, Rasheedat Abdullahi, Fati Usman KK, Jamila Umar, Zainab Indomie charge between N.5million to N1million per flick.

However, with their new fortunes, some of them now take drugs and alcohol among other vices that are not synonymous with the life style of northern Muslim. In fact, a particular star was banned from acting for five years when tales of her sexual escapades with her boyfriend found its way into the internet. Worried by the activities of these stars whose life styles contradict Sharia tenets, the Kano State Government set up a Censors Board under Alhaji Rabo. Sometime ago, through its ethics committee, the board suspended many stars due largely to consumption of alcohol, sexual scandals and drug addiction.

Consequently, Danja who is married to another Kannywood star, Mansura Isa relocated to Abuja.

Nuhu, another top actor in Kannywood left Kano and relocated to Lagos where he is now a hotcake in Nollywood.
However, Stardom checks revealed that his admirers in the North are not happy that he now kisses and romances female actresses on screen, which they consider anti – Islam.

Stardom can reveal that behind the scenes, Hausa Stars do worse.
Ali Usman Jita, who had a love affair with Fati Niger, an actress based in Kano State spoke with Stardom.

Excerpts:

How is Kannywood? Are you still planning to marry Fati Niger?
Kannywood is fine even though there is need for improvement. We are doing fine. As for Fati, she has just travelled to her country, Niger Republic. The truth is I had a serious relationship with her but I will not marry her or any other Kannywood actress. In fact, I am married to one Nafisat and we have one kid, Usman. I was almost used by her but its okay now.

Has the fortune of stars in the industry improved?
I think so. As you can see, my office is an improvement. I live in a 3-bedroom flat and have two cars not to talk of the thousands of fans I have all over the country. It makes me happy.

In Kannywood, actors and actresses don’t kiss or even touch each other. Why?
We are Muslims. We are praying for Ali Nuhu who now acts in Nollywood to stop and come back home. His admirers are not happy with him.

Untill now, I had never heard of Kannywood. Kanny wha?

don't mind them, I've never heard of this Kannywood, infact the name is , . . . .

You people are f**king disgusting, this is a pure and open criticism and bigotry. The term Kannywood came into existence 3yrs even before your dulling and uncultured Nollywood, go and find it out from the history. So the truth is Nollywood stole every sinfgle idea from Kannywood.

What Nollywood stands to show today except the pure explicit videos and porn? Who is even interested in watching your scrap movies? Save me abeg!

Nobody care weather you should know about Kannywood or not,D fact is that Hausa speaking community know about it. For your information, Hausa is the second most speaking language in Africa after Swahili.That population is enough to keep driving kannywood.If u dnt like it, go to hell and burn to ashes.

Lwkm....kanny watin??na wa o...so dey also hav dia own wood??lol

Missy_B: Who's seen a kannywood movie?

I used to and sincerely i enjoyed dem (most of them), thou i find the singing thng they do in some love movies(lik bollywood) funny, bt then i don't lik all the singing singing part in bollywood movies either.
If you get a good one, you will enjoy it.

i've watched a couple of their movies, nice storyline but too many india style singing with their tiny voice lol.

Very clean too and you won't miss the message in the movie.

Hausa movies? even their love movies na comedy to me...singing and dancing like i.diots

Hausa Gurls Mouth Dey Always Smell!! Their Guys Sef, Kola Nut Don Spoil Their Teeth!! Hu Wan Get[b]Moutheria[/b] ??

The only bad thing about Kannywood movies are the songs which are all auto-tuned and sound terrible. Copy cating Indian music. I enjoy the acting though. Hausa movies are great but when I hear the wannabe Indian music I just want to tear my ears out. I love pure traditional Hausa music.

To be serious i personally dont enjoy their movies.i watched one on african magic and to be serious technicalities are bad,costumes terrible,music awful,storyline irritating and dry.i didnt finish watching it,i had to turn off the t.v.infact,even mount zion movies are way better than that.


I have seen those kannywood movies but they are only popular among the hausas.just few non hausas watch it.


However nolly wood o,yoruba wood o,kanny wood etc have a loooooooooonnnnnngggggggg way to go.some of this kanny wood,yoruba wood and nollywood are an embarassment.its not even fit to win a grammy award.i will rather watch titanic,sound of music or any high school movie than watching kannywood.its too terrible.

100% agree, I don't even think Nigerian movies are the best in Africa. I was even suprised that a film in Chad (Abouna) by Mahamat Saleh Haroun was of better quality than anything I have seen in Nigeria. I mean CHAD of all places. I can understand South Africa and Ghana making better films, but Chad? Nigerian films need a larger budget.
