Popular Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has revealed that his role in Nigeria’s highest-grossing film, ‘A Tribe Called Judah,’ was the most challenging of his career. During a recent interactive session with fans on the social media platform X, Arukwe opened up about his portrayal of Chidoke, an Igbo businessman and money launderer.

When a fan inquired about his most challenging role, Arukwe responded, “A Tribe Called Judah because I had to consciously replace the L word with the R word, to make it feel natural & believable.” He explained that mastering the Igbo man’s dialect and specific enunciation was particularly demanding.

The film’s producer, Funke Akindele, praised Arukwe’s performance, quoting his tweet and adding, “And you nailed it. Well done bro. Thank you too.”

Arukwe’s dedication to authenticity in his character’s speech highlights the lengths actors go to deliver believable performances, contributing to the film’s success and resonating with audiences.
