EVI (2026) – OFFICIAL TEASER | UPREVIEWS

A powerful and emotionally charged Nollywood musical drama, Evi tells the story of fame, fallout, and finding your voice in an unforgiving music industry.

Evi follows Evi-Oghene Donalds, a gifted but headstrong Afrobeats star whose life unravels after her record label abruptly cuts ties without compensation. Stripped of fame and fortune, she must confront exploitation, identity loss, and the emotional cost of success — while rebuilding herself with the help of a loyal best friend and a troubled manager.

Blending dramatic storytelling with a rich Afrobeats soundtrack, Evi stands out as a rare Nollywood musical that centres on resilience, self-discovery, and the realities women face in the entertainment industry.

Starring Osas Okonyon, Uzor Arukwe, Omowunmi Dada, Tomiwa Tegbe, Ibrahim Suleiman, Michael Ejoor, Waje, Ariyike Owolagba, and Femi Branch, Evi is written and directed by Uyoyou Adia and produced by Judith Audu Productions and Switch Visuals Productions.
