Nollywood actress and producer, Sapphire Ogodo, has unveiled plans to kick off a reality TV show, ‘Actors Unleashed.’

The "Church Prostitute" star recently made this known in a chat with the media on her desire to harness immense talent for Nollywood.

Ogodo said the reality TV show is a grassroots reality show aimed at discovering new talents for the movie industry and also to promote originality and culture.

"Actors Unleashed is born out of the need to discover and groom new acting talents and also to promote more of the Nigerian and African culture," Sapphire explained.

Speaking further, Ogodo said top Nollywood producers are currently backing the idea, which will discover the next big thing in Nollywood and promote them to their full potentials.

"Many producers like Emem Isong and Kunle Afolayan are waiting for this project to kick off and a winner emerge because there are plans to spot new talents and next big faces in Nollywood.

“We will commence the sale of forms on June 12, 2017 and interested contestants are to visit the website to know how they can apply. Auditions will be held in six state capitals – Benin-City, Calabar, Enugu, Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, respectively. Dates and venues will be announced soon.

“Actors Unleashed promises to be action packed and entertainment filled from start to finish. Successful contestants will be camped in the house for two weeks. The show will air on both local and cable TV and viewers can vote for their favorite contestants," Ogodo said.

Sapphire Ogodo is a product of three notable talent reality TV shows that include Next Movie Star, Amstel Malta Box Office and 12 Ambassadors, which she won.
