Veteran actress Bukky Wright has returned to Nollywood by starring in a soon-to-be-released feature-length film titled ‘Red Circle’.

In a post on X social media platform, Producer Awolowo said, “This is my most ambitious project yet. Love when I get to stretch myself for something I love.”
In the caption to the film’s teaser, Awolowo revealed why she added Bukky Wright to the cast.
“You asked for Bukky Wright. My job was to make it happen!” the AMVCA winner said.
Her decision brought delight to movie fans who recall the stellar performance displayed by the veteran in Omotara Johnson released over a decade ago.
The film’s teaser showed a masked man who kidnapped several people, with each of them given reasons why they ought not to have been kidnapped. When it got to Bukky Wright’s turn, she gave off a sinister laugh, leaving me to believe that she would spell trouble for the kidnappers. I expect the film’s trailer to drop soon because I don’t think the teaser is enough to create anticipation.

Aside from acting, Bukky Wright is also a successful businesswoman with a boutique in Lagos’s Lekki area. The outfit, she said is the result of long-term planning. “It took me a long time to plan this. I have always thought of sitting down in my shop and all the things in the shop being my brand. That’s why I’ve been trying to brand the name. I’ve always said that Bukky Wright is not just a name. It is a brand that could come out with anything. I’ve been nurturing it for a very long time,” she said.
