Tiwa Savage, an Afrobeats singer, will star as the heroine in a brand-new film, marking her acting debut.
The movie titled “Water and Garri” would mark the debut of the singing sensation also as a director.
Coincidentally, Tiwa’s second EP, which has five songs and was released on August 20, 2021, has the same name.
The Number 1 African Bad Gyal plays the part of a fashion designer with a promising career in the United States who returned to her native continent of Africa to deal with the guilt she left behind in the film, which is set in the Ghanaian city of Cape Coast.
The movie co-directed by the star alongside Meji Alabi also starred Jemima Osunde, Mike Afolarin, and Andrew Bunting.
Tiwa also wrote and performed the film’s original soundtrack and is an executive producer through her ‘Everything Savage’ company.
Sharing a post of a picture of her on set with other directors via her Instagram, the 43-year-old screen diva wrote: “This is about to be an ICONIC moment.
My first calling and co-directing debut with the GOAT @meji Alabi.”
