“I DON’T BELIEVE IN MONEY RITUALS, WITCHCRAFT MOVIES UNREALISTIC” — SUNNY ALLI

Nollywood actor Sunny Alli has expressed skepticism about money rituals and the portrayal of witchcraft in movies, describing many supernatural storylines as unrealistic.

Speaking during a recent interview, the actor said he does not believe in the concept of money rituals and questioned the authenticity of films that heavily focus on supernatural practices.

According to Alli, while such themes may entertain audiences, they should not always be interpreted as reflections of reality.

He emphasized the importance of creating balanced stories that combine entertainment with responsible storytelling, especially given the influence of films on public perception.

The actor noted that Nollywood has evolved significantly over the years and encouraged filmmakers to continue exploring diverse narratives beyond traditional supernatural plots.

Entertainment analysts say themes such as witchcraft and money rituals have remained popular in Nigerian cinema because they often resonate with cultural beliefs and audience interests.

However, some industry stakeholders have called for greater creativity and originality, urging filmmakers to expand into genres such as historical dramas, science fiction, thrillers, and contemporary social stories.

Alli reaffirmed his commitment to supporting productions that promote meaningful storytelling while maintaining high entertainment value.

His remarks have sparked conversations among fans and industry observers about the role of supernatural themes in Nollywood and their impact on audiences.

The discussion reflects the ongoing debate over how Nigerian films balance cultural traditions, artistic expression, and social responsibility.
