Nigerian filmmaker Dabby Chimere has announced the cast for her upcoming film *Adanne*. The film will feature Big Brother Africa’s Lilian Afegbai in the lead role, alongside Big Brother Naija’s Tacha Akinde (Simply Tacha), Shaffy Bello, Ik Ogbonna, and Alex Ekubo. *Adanne* explores the complex dynamics of family bonds through the story of two sisters, Adanne and Ijeoma. Adanne sacrifices much for Ijeoma’s success, only to be abandoned once Ijeoma marries into wealth, leading Adanne to resort to stripping for survival.
Chimere describes *Adanne* as a compelling narrative of unconditional love and betrayal, highlighting the tension and resilience within sisterhood. She expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to work with the cast and crew on this project.
Chimere is known for directing *Head Over Bills*, which premiered on Prime Video on February 4, 2024, and was well-received in Nigeria. Her other notable works include *Rush Hour*, *Enough*, *Flaws*, and *Lighthouse*.
