Okpaleke‘s announcement comes on the heels of his remake of the 1992 classic thriller Nneka The Pretty Serpeant.

The announcement also comes amid the coronavirus pandemic that has continued to ravage several countries across the globe.

Since his foray into the Nigerian movie industry, Okpaleke has become a sensation with strings of projects. He has also earned a slew of awards and a huge fanbase with the Living In Bondage sequel released last year.

The award-winning movie producer recently unveiled plans to commence his first Nollywood animation immediately after COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

Charles Okpaleke shared on Instagram: “We never stop. We are excited about our new Animation studio project. I think Nigeria is ripe for some Nollywood Animation blockbusters, let’s change the narrative for our kids as well! Post Covid would be amazing by Gods grace.”

In 2017, Okpaleke concluded an endorsement deal with premium energy drink company, Cintron, as a Brand Ambassador in Nigeria. He was also appointed Brand Influencer for the Remy Martin global ‘One Life’ campaign in 2016.
