After commendation on his past jobs, True
Citizens, A Wish, Playing Safe, Happy Family
(TV drama series) and many more, award
winning producer, Elvin Chucks is back with
new blend that will surely get us talking for
a long time to come.
His new movie, Hustlers is the story of a
mother who wants to use her daughter as a
channel of finding an easy way out of
poverty. The movie has memorable twists
and bends with Mercy Johnson and Nse Ikpe
Etim playing roles of two local girls ‘hustling’
to survive in the city.
Clarion Chukwura returns to the big screen
with the role of Mercy’s mother. Other cast
members include IK Ogbonna, Chelsea Eze
and Paul Sambo.
On the movie, the actor cum producer said
“I want to make history in Nollywood with
this movie. Hustlers is a glamour filled movie,
aimed at correcting the ills of the society.
You will see Nse and Mercy Johnson playing
the kind of roles they’ve never played before.
I try to do something unconventional with
the movie”
Speaking on the relationship with the cast,
Elvin Chucks said “It was an honour having
Clarion Chukwura on my set, it was a
welcome back for her and she is an actress
who understands the industry. Nse Ikpe
Etim, Mercy Johnson and others brought
their A-game to set. I will work with all of
them over and over again if the opportunity
comes.”
Mercy Johnson was delighted to be featured
in the movie. According to her “This is my
first movie with Elvis Chucks, and when the
script was given to me, it wasn’t a script to
turn down, because it was full of suspense,
talks about the ills of the society and how to
make changes. The cast and crew of
Hustlers were wonderful”.
“I had already taken a break in the movie
industry, when Elvis gave me a brief
summary about the movie, I said in my mind
that there is nothing challenging about it.
Not until he brought the script and I read
through it, I was amazed at the impeccable
themes, characterization, plot and the rest, I
couldn’t help but say yes”. Said Clarion
Chukwura
Elvis Chucks is a seasoned actor, director
and a producer. He became popular with
his roles in numerous Nollywood flicks and
soap opera, Super Story.
