Nollywood is set to make another bold statement on the global stage with the upcoming release of its much-anticipated crime thriller, ‘Red Circle’, hitting cinemas worldwide on June 6, 2025.
Produced by Rixel Studios, the film is a gripping tale of power, corruption, and the relentless pursuit of justice, packed with action, suspense, and high-stakes drama.
A Story of Grit and Danger
At the heart of Red Circle is investigative journalist Fikayo Holloway, played by the dynamic Folu Storms. Tasked with unraveling the dark underbelly of a notorious crime syndicate in Lagos, Fikayo’s quest for the truth brings her face-to-face with a powerful and enigmatic businessman running an empire built on corruption, drugs, and murder. As she inches closer to exposing the network’s sinister dealings, the danger intensifies—not just for her, but for everyone she holds dear.
A Star-Studded Cast & Seasoned Crew
The film boasts a powerhouse ensemble of Nollywood’s finest, featuring Bukky Wright, Timini Egbuson, Tobi Bakre, Lateef Adedimeji, Femi Branch, Omowunmi Dada, Mike Afolarin, Ruggedman, and Debo Macaroni.
Under the masterful direction of Akay Mason and a riveting script penned by Abdul Tijani-Ahmed, Red Circle promises to be an edge-of-your-seat experience. With Nora Awolowo and Tijani-Ahmed at the helm of production, the film is poised to be a cinematic milestone.
The Filmmakers Speak
