Seasoned Nollywood actor, Martins Amaihe has broken the barrier many
Nollywood stars have been trying to break for years by setting to be
cast in a Bollywood, Indian film.
The actor, who has featured in top draw Nollywood movies like Silent
night, Face-off, Rampage on Campus, among others said the casting for
the Bollywood film is almost done and hinted he might have to travel
to India soon to see the project to completion.
"I am so happy that I have a new project now in Bollywood. I will be
attending the final movie cast which is taking place in October of
this year in India. I am so happy about this because it will go a long
way in uniting the two biggest movie industries in the world,
Nollywood and Bollywood," he said.
Martins has done up to sixty-five movies in his entire illustrious
career. Born on October 26th as the sixth of seven children into the
family of Mr. and Mrs Paul Uchechukwu Amaihe of Ihebinowere-Okwudor,
Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria, Martins has always
had the passion for the arts, and believed it is the only profession
that could bring out his true personality.
Immediately after graduating with a degree in accounting from Federal
Polytechnic Nekede Owerri, Martins began his journey in the world of
make-believe taking part in various activities in the Nigerian movie /
theater industry Nollywood such as acting in movies, stage dramas in
theaters and soaps on television.
Since 2002, as a member of the AGN (Actors Guild of Nigeria), he has
produced, performed and acted in series of movies such as Silent
Night, Face-off, Rampage on Campus, Cry of an Orphan (stage drama),
The concubine ( a theater stage drama at the National Theater ), Black
Friday (Only shows on theater) and many more.
He has been featured in over 65 movies and was previously nominated
for Best Teenage Actor in Thema Award in the year 2000 for the movie
Silent Night and Best Upcoming Actor on stage drama in Encomium
Entertainment Award in 2009.
"I am doing more movies for my fans to see more of me. At this point
in my career I will not give up. I will make sure I get to the top,
give my best to viewers and stay focused in order to achieve my dream"
he reflected on his career.
But Martins hasn't been as successful in the matters of the hearts as
he has in the world of make-believe as he confessed to Potpourri that
he his yet to find a woman he could call his own.
" After all I have achieved as an actor and in the world of movies and
theatres I haven't found a woman I can settle down with. No woman has
been able to capture my heart. So, I can say I am still searching for
a wife material. I seek three major things in a woman. First, a woman
that has the fear of God in her, a hard-working woman and a woman
that's is full of respect. All the women I have seen ,want me because
I am an actor but I am yet to see the one who possesses the qualities
I want," he revealed.
