Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, is currently over the moon as he achieves what he describes as the pinnacle of his career in the film industry.
The film producer, who has been on the set of his new movie with his father, veteran actor Pete Edochie, and his second wife, Judy Austin, revealed that the highlight of his career was being praised for his work by his father.
According to Yul Edochie, he made his first film in 2005, which his father thought was impressive but said it wasn’t his best.
He said he took his father’s comments in good faith and took it upon himself to make a name for himself in the Nigerian film industry.
18 years later, Yul directed his father in another film, and this time he blew him away with his artistic skills and leadership.
Yul took to his Instagram page to share the news and wrote:
“The high point of my career. Getting a endorsement from the man who gave birth to me. The Legend and biggest name in Nollywood Chief Pete Edochie. In 2005, fresh out of Theatre Arts Department, University of Port Harcourt. I directed my first movie which starred Chief Pete Edochie. After the money my father said I tried though but it would be best of I go fully into acting. learn more as an actor before coming back to directing.
“I agreed. As a man who loves challenges, I took it upon myself to make a mark in Nollywood as an actor. So I went into acting fully and established myself as one of the greatest actors in Africa. 2023, I directed my father again in the movie THE GODFATHER and I blew him away with my artistic prowess and leadership skills. He finally gave me my accolades. I earned it”.
