One of the veterans of Nollywood is back in action with better days ahead and a special surprise for his fans. His latest movie, in which he featured alongside top rated Nollywood actors is said to be one of the movies to make a difference in the movie industry this century. Must have been ages since we heard anything about Zack Orji but sources are reporting that the dangerously handsome actor has been cooking something lowkey for his fans. Back in the days, when he appeared in a movie, it was a hit. back to back.. lol So having his fans yearn for his appearance is an understatement, especially after he was seen on the set of the movie of the season; “The X-List.” The movie is said to feature some of Nollywoods big boys; including, IK Ogbonna, Davidson and some divas, Tamara Eteimo and other notable actors http://www.nollywoodonlinegist.com/2016/09/veteran-actor-zack-orji-returns-to.html
