Ramsey Nouah recommends new film ‘Crazy People’ to Nollywood movie lovers

Conceived 4 years ago by Moses Inwang, Crazy People is a new Nollywood movie which stars Ramsey Nouah in dual role. Ramsey Nouah has shared why his latest movie “Crazy People” is worth seeing in the cinemas during a recent interview.The actor, who also co-produced the movie, spoke about what makes the project unique, funding, challenges and more.

“Crazy People” is a Moses Inwang film, which stars Nouah as a famous Nollywood star, who returns to the industry after a one-year hiatus. He is on a mission to track down and prosecute one person – his impersonator.

With the help of his new manager Lucinda, a fellow inmate while he was confined in a mental facility – Rosewood Medical Centre – he sets out to find the imposter.

Nouah said:

We gave birth to the story four years ago. We tried to work on it a couple of times and did a couple of drafts. We thought of how to make it work in the market today because it’s kind of hard.

Originally, the movie was written to be a thriller, but currently showing in cinemas, it is an infusion of a couple of genres: drama, suspense, comedy and thriller.“Crazy People” is a Bank of Industry-funded movie. A single-digit loan, the actor reveals.

They came on board to reduce the pressure on the finances. However, it’s still very much there because it’s a loan. But it’s a single digit loan. At least that’s a soft landing for us, you might say.

Nouah likens the lessons that would be learned from the film to the appeal of abstract painting.

“It’s like a work of art. Of course, there’s always a message in the end, but some directors are just abstract. And for this, there’s so many lessons to take home, I just don’t want to let the cat out of the bag. I want you all to go see it, and let me know what they think about the movie.”Speaking on why the movie is worth seeing, Nouah says:

“Crazy People” has virtually everything; a good story, a good cast, and a bit of comedy. It’s a story that has to do with a bit of mentally deranged people. People who just get into their space and then they forget that the world exits around them. It’s a story that has to do with impersonation too and all of that. It’s got a lot of twists here and there, which I think you should go find out yourself in the cinema.”

For “Crazy People,” Nouah challenges himself by playing multiple characters. And to him, it’s like a re-enactment of his role in the classic Tade Ogidan 2004 film, Dangerous Twins,” » which also had him play a dual character.“It is almost like that, I didn’t say it’s like that,” he clarified.

Working on set of “Crazy People” was a smooth sail for Nouah.

“I was working with Moses Inwang, who, naturally, isn’t normal. He is a funny chap. Everything is funny to him, he cracks up all the time, and we had a lot of fun just being a set. I can’t recall any day of too much pressure on set. I can’t remember. If there was, then it wasn’t strong.”Produced and directed by Moses Inwang, the movie also stars Chioma “Chigul” Omerua, Sola Sobowale, Ireti Doyle, Monalisa Chinda, Desmond Elliot and

Kunle Afolayan.
