Actress, Genevieve Nnaji has said she will retire from acting when she becomes old and weary to carry on.
She said this during an interview with Punch Newspapers where she also disclosed the reason for her absence in the movie scene.
‘I guess I haven’t found the right script yet. Creativity and depth are the qualities that I look out for in a script. So said, I am constantly watching out for the kind of stories I take part in’ she said.
She further expressed her support for the trend in Nollywood where quality now overrides quantity, describing it as beneficial to the industry,
‘I am among the people who advocate for the improvement of the industry. I am in support of movies that show a great deal of professionalism and creativity. Having practiced my art in international and professionally produced stories like ‘Ije’, ‘Mirror boy’ and ‘Tango with me’, I don’t think I can return to the blandness and mediocrity that characterized Nollywood in the past’, she said.
Concerning her plans for her numerous fans, she says ‘For the coming year, there are couple of things in the works but I can’t reveal them at this stage. Something is definitely coming up, hopefully before the end of the year’ she assured.
